Chinese Cloisonné Enamel Inset Circular Carved Hardwood Pedestal

About the Item

A Chinese cloisonné enamel inset circular carved hardwood pedestal Chinese, early 20th century Measures: Height 34cm, diameter 45cm Made in China in the early twentieth century, this elegant yet humble piece is a carved hardwood stand, inlaid with a beautiful decorative circular panel of cloisonné enamel. Depicting a pair of songbirds in a vibrant floral space, the ground in bright blue contrasts with the rich tone of the wooden structure, and serves to bring out the delicate and beautiful work that comprises the birds and the floral blossoms around which they flit. The contrast between the large blossoms in the centre, the small red flowers around the exterior, and the subtle shifting tones of green in the birds' wings is particularly pleasing, making this piece a fine demonstration of the prowess of Chinese enamel craftsmen, and a delightful interior addition to the right space.

  • Onyx, Marble, Gilt Bronze and Champlevé Enamel Pedestal Clock
    Located in London, GB
    This colorful pedestal clock has been crafted from fine red marble and green onyx, and beautifully decorated with gilt bronze (ormolu) and champlevé enamel. While a popular crafts material in ancient times, onyx was largely forgotten about until its rediscovery in the mid-19th century in Algeria by a French marble-worker called Delmonte. Onyx became highly fashionable in France following this discovery, and it was used to create a variety of decorative art objects. The clock features a green onyx cube-shaped case, which is surmounted by a slightly projecting red marble top. This top is fringed with champlevé enamel drapery-like motifs, with gilt bronze drop-finials. The case is mounted on its front with a circular dial, which features a central floral champlevé enamel motif, encircled by black Arabic Numerals. This dial is set within a gilt bronze egg-and-dart and champlevé enamel bezel. The sides of the case are mounted with circular gilt bronze barometers...
