About the Item
A beautifully crafted Meiji period cloisonné table lamp featuring exquisitely detailed polychrome enameled mythical beasts, lending an air of mystique and elegance. The vase dates from the mid to late 19th century, widely regarded as one of the finest eras for cloisonné artistry.
During the Meiji period, Japanese craftsmanship reached exceptional heights, characterized by meticulous handwork and a profound integration of artistry and design. Craftsmen and designers worked hand in hand, ensuring that every piece was both functionally sound and visually stunning. This harmonious approach elevated cloisonné from mere decoration to a refined art form celebrated worldwide.
Mounted on a custom-made pierced brass base from the 1920s, the base has been burnished to a rich, deep bronze finish—adding warmth and depth while preserving an antique aesthetic. The lamp remains in excellent condition, free from dents or dings, showcasing both the quality of the original craftsmanship and careful restoration.
A stunning fusion of Japanese artistry and early 20th-century design, this lamp offers collectors a rare and timeless decorative accent.
