A Pair of Chinese Cloisonné Models of Tigers on Bases, Life Size

Located in New York, NY

A Palace Size Pair of Chinese Cloisonné Models of the Tigers on Original Wood Bases, Life Size. A pair of life-size Chinese cloisonné models of tigers, each presented in a striding pose with open mouths, revealing detailed teeth and red enamel tongues. The bodies are decorated with alternating bands of yellow and black, outlined with wirework that defines scrolling cloud-like motifs across the surface. Their muscular forms are supported on rectangular tiered wooden bases carved with decorative friezes. The tails curve outward, echoing the fluidity of the cloisonné design that continues throughout their bodies, including the paws and ears. In Chinese symbolism, these tigers represents the masculine principle in nature and is king of all the animals, as shown by the four stripes on his forehead, which form the character Wang (王). The tiger represents the greatest earthly power, as well as protection over human life. The decoration is executed in traditional cloisonné technique, where copper wire partitions contain colored enamel filled into the tiger’s stripes and background ornamentation. The yellow enamel ground is filled with fine spirals and scrolls that extend across the surface, contrasting with the black bands, which are similarly detailed with wire-drawn motifs. The white enamel underbellies are also worked with scroll patterns, and the noses are rendered in dotted black cloisonné. Each piece is constructed over a metal core, evident from the openings beneath the bodies showing traces of copper and green oxidation around the rims. Chinese cloisonné animal...

Cloisonné Vases, Lamps, Bowls and Other Furniture and Objects for Sale on 1stDibs

Liven your home with cloisonné vases, bowls, lamps and other objects and furnishings ornamented with lustrous enamel. Technically, enamel is colored glass fused to metal. But that simple description greatly understates the case. Applied using an array of techniques to a wide range of objects, it is one of the most dynamic, and alluring, mediums in the world.

No one knows for sure when or where enameling originated. But, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, it is widely believed that the decoration on a gold scepter found in a royal Mycenaean tomb at Kourion Kaloriziki, in Cyprus, and dating to the 11th century BC, is a true, early example of the technique.

Between the 6th and 12th centuries AD, cloisonné — in which tiny compartments (cloisons) made by soldering copper filaments to a metal surface are filled with vibrantly hued enamel — had a huge vogue in the Byzantine Empire. By the 7th century, Lombard craftsmen in northern Italy were using enamel to emulate Byzantine objects. In the 12th and 13th centuries, artisans in China imported the technique and made it so much their own that enameled objects have long been associated with Eastern aesthetics and motifs rather than Western ones.

Collectors of authentic antique Chinese furniture and decorative objects know that Ming dynasty-era cloisonné objects are particularly coveted. Although ornamentation was minimal at the time, Ming dynasty furniture often featured carved or painted details of flowers, insects, dragons, fruits and other motifs. As overseas trade expanded, techniques from the West, like cloisonné enamel painting, adorned table screens and other pieces. 

Elaborately decorated Ming-era cloisonné objects and furnishings — vessels and other items featuring lots of vibrant colors and details — are likely to fetch considerable sums at auction, as Chinese cloisonné vases created during the Ming and Qing eras represent a golden age of the country’s furniture design. (Victorian cloisonné is also popular with design enthusiasts.)

Cloisonné wasn’t adopted in Japan until the 1800s. Back then, amid an era of societal and cultural shifts, a bolstered interest in art and design elevated Japanese craft traditions during the Meiji period. European styles like Japonisme appropriated Japanese design while craftsmen in places like Wales and England employed japanning, a varnishing technique that approximated the appearance of lacquer for the surfaces of furnishings.

Today, Meiji-era cloisonné vases or incense burners in good condition are of great interest to collectors of Asian art and furniture produced by the period’s Japanese cloisonné workshops.
