About the Item

This small late 19th-century Meiji period altar or stand with gilded & engraved brass mounts is a refined example of the art of lacquer in Japan. Crafted of deep black shiny lacquer set out with simple gilded edges and rigged panels in gold lacquer set within recessed panels, the whole mounted with engraved and gilded raised brass mounts. Its small size and delicate details are well shown in the bold contrast of colors and the restrained use of pattern help to make the stand look and feel bolder and far larger then it is. The lacquer and gold is in good shape with few worn areas and the brasses are only spotted in but two small places, both on the same side. One small mount right at the back of the curved outside upper edge was missing but it has been reapplied as it was still with the piece at the time of photography.
