About the Item

Sculptural composition of the ducks from the Japanese Meiji Period. Beautiful and very well realized sculptural composition of three ducks, made during the japanese imperial period of the Meiji, back in the 1900. This piece is composed by three standing bronze ducks hanging together on a carved piece of rosewood and embellished with two carvings of natural salmon coral. Oshidori a Mandarin duck, is an auspicious symbol of eternal love. From ancient times, beautiful artistic patterns on kimono have reflected the Japanese people’s delicate senses towards the changing seasons and how social conventions in the country have changed through its history. The Chinese believe that mandarin ducks mate for life, a belief that spread to the Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese, all of whom use the pair of birds to symbolise the love of devoted couples. Before mandarin ducks were symbols of romantic love, however, they were invoked as representations of fraternal love. Weight: 335.9 Grams, (215.32 Dwt). Measurements: 200 mm by 95.25 mm by 80 mm (7.9 x 3.75 x 3.15 Inches). Hallmarks: Each duck is stamped in the undersight with Japanese characters. Meiji period, is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912.The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas. As a result of such wholesale adoption of radically different ideas, the changes to Japan were profound, and affected its social structure, internal politics, economy, military, and foreign relations. The period corresponded to the reign of Emperor Meiji. It was preceded by the Keio era and was succeeded by the Taisho era, upon the accession of Emperor Taisho. Condition: The overall condition of this piece is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the wood or the bronzes. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D010923MEMH/2122.
