Product description
Pair of Japanese bronze vases with bas-relief birds Meiji period (1868-1912)
Emerging from a Japan in the midst of a metamorphosis as it opened up to the Western world, this pair of bronze vases embodies the subtle encounter between ancestral Japanese tradition, with its expressive decoration inspired by nature, and contemporary modernity in the second half of the 19th century by Europeans, fond of emerging exotic objects and arts.
Created in the Meiji period, around 1880, they celebrate the deep connection of Japanese art with nature: flowering branches, birds in flight, the breath of vegetation in bas-relief.
A complete pair, they have a slender, sober silhouette, like a work of herbalism and ornithology frozen and suspended in bronze - a spring morning, a moment of Japanese harmony.
These pieces are veritable nuggets of Japanese cultural art history. Indeed, following the opening of Japan to the world in 1868, Japan was able to demonstrate to Westerners the exceptional skills and prowess of the bronzemakers of the second half of the 19th century. They were highly prized by Asian art lovers and collectors, and even today, these bronzes from the Meiji era continue to fascinate Western collectors eager for refined exoticism.
Lovers of Japanese bronzes or collectors of Asian curiosities, don't wait any longer and order this pair of Meiji bronze vases without further delay. These vases don't just decorate a space: they add a touch of silence, grace and eternity.
