Description
An exquisite Japanese Meiji period antique shodana display cabinet with the finest silver string inlay and exceptionally fine quality carving throughout. The cabinet has beautiful carved landscape scenes, birds, cherry blossom and chrysanthemum design to the inset door and drawer panels, with fretted panels to the front, back and sides including scroll and fan design.
There are lovely features to the cabinet including a carved landscape scene of Mount Fuji to one of the double doors, along with Komainu and Kirin carvings standing on pedestals, which are symbols of protection, peace and good luck. The double doors are finished with delicately carved floral, butterfly and insect bone clasp. The drawer and door framework are all finished with fine quality Greek key and meander pattern silver string inlay with brass embossed corner brackets.
The cabinet comes in two sections and stands on a cabriole shaped base with lower shelf, abundant with floral carving to the legs. The door and drawer framework is made from padauk, the carved panels are made from stained pear wood and the cabinet itself is made from stained maple.
The cabinet has staggered shelving with sliding door cupboard space and drawers, ideal for displaying oriental works of art, or it could simply be used as a stand alone piece of furniture. This exceptional shodana cabinet is in excellent condition throughout.
