A MOTHER OF PEARL-INLAID LACQUER TRAY, KANGXI PERIOD
China, 1662-1722. Of rectangular form, decorated to the interior with a vertical panel enclosing a palace amid scrolling clouds above officials and dignitaries with attendants below, all reserved against a leiwen ground, the sides with six red-lacquered basket-weave cartouches against a floral diaper ground.
Provenance: From a noted Dutch private collector.
Condition: Superb and original condition, approximately 98% of the innumerable inlays are preserved, few small losses, natural age cracks.
Weight: 229.5 g
Dimensions: Length 44.3 cm, Width 12.5 cm
With an old silk pouch, showing several tears and wear, and a Japanese kiri wood box and cover, showing a split to the cover along with further wear, both dating to the 19h century or earlier, and a Chinese fitted box and cover dating to the 20th century. (4)
Expert’s note: The mother of pearl segments are extremely thin, neatly incised and meticulously inlaid. When seen in natural sunlight, they perform a staggering array of iridescent rainbow colors.
Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related mother-of-pearl-inlaid lacquer tray, also dated to the Kangxi period, with very similarly shaped cartouches and floral-diapered designs, but lacking the red-lacquered ‘basket-weave’, at Sotheby’s London in Important Chinese Art on 15 May 2019, lot 58, sold for GBP 12,500.
