About the Item
Important 19th C. Japanese Meiji Period ornately carved extreme high relief, credenza or bar back. Meticulously designed with one of a kind tooling. A breakfront form with three drawers over lower cabinets, topped by a hutch with shelves and central mirror. Features a dragon or serpent theme, phoenix's, elephants, foo dogs and pierced foliate placed throughout. Amongst the animals is the Imperial (Mons) seal of Japan or Chrysanthemum, emblazoned along drawer handles and within scenes, Charismatic 3-D carvings ordain all surfaces with robust columns at the forefront. Aprons are accented by beading, gadrooning and Japanese Greek key. The pagoda form crown is topped by an intriguing dragon looking down over a chrysanthemum medallion while holding the crown of the cabinet in its mouth. Flanked by two spectacular guardian lions. A masterpiece that would have been made for and limited to a member of the Royal Family/ Imperial House of Japan.
The chrysanthemum flower, "Kiku" or the "Jirogiku" is the national emblem or crest of Japan. It is associated with the royal family and the imperial household. It represents longevity, as well as health and restoration. It was first introduced by the Chinese in the Nara dynasty. The royal family fell in love with the flower and made it their own symbol. As an imperial symbol it is always shown with 16 petals. Today the flower is a sign of immortality.
