"Couple of parakeets in the mimosas", Gaston Suisse (1896-1988), France
About the Item
Gaston Suisse (1896–1988) was a French decorator and a leading figure of the Art Deco movement. He designed several stage sets for the Ballets Russes at the Paris Opera and costumes for the Comédie Française before specializing in lacquer work. He distinguished himself through his refined craftsmanship in furniture and decorative panels. He took part in numerous international exhibitions, including the 1925 Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris. His creations were often inspired by flora and fauna, which he depicted with precision and elegance, drawing from his travel sketches made in Africa. His expertise in traditional Japanese lacquer techniques made him one of the greatest lacquer artists of his time.

A Very Fine Takamaki-e Lacquer Cheroot Case in the Manner of Shibata Zeshin
By Shibata Zeshin
Located in Ottawa, Ontario
The 'ishime' lacquered case consisting of two conforming molded sections with one sliding overtop the other, both sides decorated with hand painted gilt, silver & burnt dark russet (kasshoku) lacquers, depicting motifs in low relief of a rat with an acorn on one side and two acorns on the opposing.
In Japanese culture rats are considered auspicious symbols of fertility & wealth, acorns symbolize prosperity & growth. Signed with characters and a mon on one edge.
Takamaki-e is a lacquer technique in which metallic powders such as silver, gold, copper, pewter etc., are used in combination with lacquer & clay-dust to build up motifs in low relief.
Please note that the color tones & hues of the lacquered motifs appear somewhat more vibrant in the images due to ambient lighting conditions.
Regarding the opinion stating the superior quality of this fine example being likened to works associated with those by Shibata...
