Fascinating Japanese Advertising Plaque - Komai of Kyoto

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this most interesting Meiji period (1868-1912) damascened iron panel, manufactured by the highly regarded Komai company of Kyoto during the latter part of the 19th century . This very rare panel is formed as cut out examples of Komai wares including plaques, a vase, a koro and other objects each overlapping in a three dimensional fashion, the gold and silver Nunomezogan workmanship is quite exquisite and in remarkable original condition. After much deliberation I must conclude that this framed panel was possibly used as an advertising tool at expositions or indeed for traveling salesman promoting the range of wares and quality of workmanship provided by the Komai company at that time. The ironwork panel is fitted to its original crimson baize lined backboard that has now been sympathetically reframed to preserve it for another 140 years , the panel carries the full signature seal for Komai Otojiro (1842-1917).
