Outstanding Japanese Gold Lacquer and Shibayama Shodana Cabinet

19th century
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this finely decorated Meiji Period (1868-1912) hardwood display cabinet ( Shodana). This dense native hardwood cabinet has been designed to house a combination of sumptuous gold lacquer doors and drawers within the carved and pierced main carcass, some of the doors bowed adding to the complexity whilst others slide on runners. A fascinating array of scenes are brought to life with the clever use of lacquer and Shibayama decoration to the door and drawer fronts, unsually including a swordsmith at work to one main panel, demons, jovial bands of musicians, fans and birds within traditional ikebana displays form the basis of decoration for the remainder. The shelves are further decorated with complex fretwork depicting ivory birds in flight amidst mother of pearl flora, with fine ivory shi shi as guardians to the central featured area, the remainder of the carcass either blind fret carved or once again gold lacquer decorated to an exceptional standard. This cabinet comes in two parts for ease of transportation and is of a size that will sit comfortably within most room settings. This cabinet represents one of the finest quality and most aesthetically pleasing examples we have owned.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
