High-Relief Mixed Metal Art Panels by Master Artisans Shunzan & Keishu - "Cranes & Birds on Grapevines" Design (Set of 2)

A matching pair of two magnificent high-relief (肉彫り) metal art plaques/panels depicting traditional auspicious nature motifs, crafted by two notable Japanese metalwork artisans.

【Panel 1: Two Birds on Grapevines by "Shunzan" (春山)】
This beautifully executed high-relief brass/bronze alloy plaque is by the artisan Shunzan (春山), signed with his engraved signature and seal on the lower left. It depicts two birds nestled amongst detailed grapevine leaves and clusters of grapes. Under the light, the complex texturing on the birds' feathers and the organic lines of the vines create deep dimensional shadows. In global design, this combination represents peace, harmony, and a bountiful harvest.

【Panel 2: Five Cranes by "Keishu" (慶州)】
This exquisite high-relief mixed-metal plaque is by the master craftsman Keishu (慶州), signed and stamped with a golden seal on the lower right. It captures five red-crowned cranes in a sophisticated, stylized composition. The intricate metallic work combines fine silver, gold, and dark tones on the feathers with sharp, precise chisel marks. In Japanese history, cranes are celebrated as universal symbols of longevity, marital fidelity, and good fortune.

【Technical Note: Authentic Repoussé Work】
The reverse side of the panels clearly reveals the hand-hammered indentations conforming to the front imagery. This authenticates the pieces as genuine, hand-crafted "Repoussé / Chasing" (打ち出し) metalwork art, rather than modern flat prints or mass-produced cast metal.

【Condition Report】
The items are in good vintage condition with an outstanding artistic presence. There are minor, natural signs of aging and wear:
・The front metallic surfaces show faint hairline scratches and minor surface wear consistent with age, visible under direct light.
・The reverse side shows natural oxidization, tarnish, and dark spotting inherent to vintage copper/brass plates over time (please refer to the provided close-up photos).
There are no major structural dents, deep cracks, or warping. The edges remain clean and completely straight.

These panels are highly versatile for modern international interiors, designed to be custom-framed, displayed on easels, or integrated into a premium Japandi, minimalist, or eclectic setting as luxury metallic wall relief art.
