Large Japanese Black Crane and Camellia-Motif Relief Carved Wall Mirror, 1970s

About the Item

An exquisite late 1970s Asian black cerused wood wall mirror with relief carved Japanese crane and camellia flower motif. Black lacquered cerused wood frame around a hand-carved and painted satin black panel relief featuring a variety of nearly flawlessly-executed vignettes and patterns. At top, a lively tableau of cranes both in flight and resting between leafy willow trees. At bottom, a grouping of pretty pink camellia flowers. Along each side, exactingly-done sections of Art Deco-like seigaiha wave patterns bracketed by karakusa vine flourishes, which symbolize longevity and prosperity. Flora & fauna colored in handsomely subdued hues. Muted gold-accented patterns with burnished touches speak to the hand-applied nature. Crisply carved relief rewards those who look past their own reflection and lean in closer for an oblique view. On verso is a label (affixed later on tape) printed with “No. 342968” and hand-written with “Solara Design Ltd.” Dimensions listed are of frame; mirror is H 34.38 in. x W 13.38 in.
