An elegant Japanese lacquer wall panel featuring a detailed raised relief of chrysanthemums, foliage, and a small bird in flight. The design is hand-carved from bone or bone-composite material, delicately inlaid and lacquered in high relief. The floral and avian motifs are highlighted in ivory and gold tones, framed within a shaped black lacquer field bordered by a warm, reddish-brown lacquer ground softly decorated with camellia blossoms. Signed with an impressed red seal mark (shown in photos), this piece reflects the refined aesthetic of Japanese maki-e and carved lacquer traditions. The back is also beautifully finished with a tonal tree and bird design, a mark of high-quality craftsmanship intended for fine interiors. Ready to hang. The panel has some warping, visible from the side. Some raised bone decorations are missing, and a few small areas have been retouched in red. There are small chips and scratches along the edges and on the back, consistent with age and handling. Structurally stable and displays beautifully, with a rich surface and strong visual presence.
28” wide, .75” deep, 42.75” high.
