A Marvelous Pair of Chinese Cloisonné Figures of Cranes on Stands, Qing Dynasty
About the Item
A Marvelous and Large Pair of Chinese Cloisonné Figures of Cranes on Stands. Step into the captivating world of Chinese artistry with this remarkable pair of cloisonné figures of cranes, hailing from the Qing Dynasty. The red-crowned crane holds a special place in Chinese folklore, embodying notions of fidelity in marriage, good luck, long life, and love. In China, cranes have long been associated with immortality beliefs, revered for their long lifespan and wisdom. This pair of cranes is expertly fashioned from cloisonné enamel, showcasing exquisite hand-crafted enamel detailing that highlight their stylized feathers predominantly in white and dark grey, adorned with patches of blue, yellow, and green.
Each crane assumes a unique pose, exuding regal and refined charm, while both have their right foot delicately resting on handcrafted naturalistic rocks. The cranes stand gracefully upon black pedestals, elegantly elevated on tiny scrolled feet. Their bodies are crafted with predominantly white enamel partitioned by patinated cloisons, beautifully accentuated with black and grey feather highlights on their underside and long necks. These double cranes are particularly rare, as they are less common than the single examples usually found. Noteworthy collections, such as the one owned by Mr. Robert Chang, have showcased similar single crane pieces, exhibited at prestigious locations like the Suzhou Museum from 2007 to 2008. Additional examples can be found in The Palace Museum, Beijing.
