Set Six Large Blue and White Chinese Porcelain Plates Hand-Painted Kangxi Era
Located in Katonah, NY
This set of six blue and white Chinese porcelain dishes was hand-painted 300 years ago, circa 1700, during the Kangxi dynasty. According to Sir Harry Garner, author of Oriental Blue and White, "The Kangxi blue and white reached a technical excellence that has never been surpassed."
These dishes are of the rare "double dinner" size, 11" in diameter
The dishes are each hand painted in a vibrant deep cobalt blue. We see a rocky outcropping with a pair of songbirds, beautiful peonies in full bloom, and a delicate flowering plum tree.
The effect is gorgeous!
The crisp cobalt blue border has intricate patterning with panels showing a single peony separated by scrolling vines and floral decoration.
This decorative style was especially popular during the early Kangxi period.*
On the underside, the dishes have the Chinese square or "Fret" mark inside a double circle in underglaze blue.
A traditional Chinese scene can be beautiful and also convey symbolic meaning. Peonies symbolize female beauty, royalty, wealth, and honor in Chinese tradition and have long been adored for their bold size and beautiful colors.
The plum tree flowers early in the spring, announcing the end of winter and the rebirth of nature. Hence, it symbolizes endurance and hope.
Dimensions:11" in diameter x 1" tall
Condition: Excellent
Price: $9,600

18th Century, Italian Baroque Giltwood Mirror
By Andrea Brustolon
Located in IT
18th century, Italian baroque giltwood mirror
This fine Baroque mirror was made in Venice (Italy) at the beginning of the 18th century, Louis XV Era.
The rectangular mirror is circumscribed by a golden wooden frame with three bands: an internal one carved with a palmette pattern, a central one smooth and an external one with phytomorphic elements. Around it develops a real triumph of gold carvings, with large volutes, curls and foliated elements carved in the openwork wood. The refined richness of the carvings finds maximum expression in the cymatium in which stands a large crown placed at the top of the phytomorphic elements.
Stylistically the mirror can be approached to the works of the famous wooden sculptor Andrea Brustolon (Belluno, 20 July 1662-25 October 1732), great protagonist of the Venetian Baroque.
Highly decorative and of great executive quality, this mirror will bring elegance, light and warmth in every room, placed over a dresser or a console, inserted in a living room, a study, an entrance hall, but also in a bedroom. Very refined and of remarkable sculptural virtuosity it is suitable next to antique furniture...
