AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An elegant two-section folding clothing rack 衣桁 (ikô), with slender uprights, horizontal rails and gently upturned ends to the top bars. Scrolling foliage 唐草 (karakusa) winds around the framework, interspersed with elongated ornamental cartouches filled with fine floral patterns.

The lower panels are decorated on both sides with waterside landscapes. Spreading pine trees rise among rocks and shoreline buildings, accompanied by sailing boats, flocks of birds and shrine gates 鳥居 (torii).
Made from black lacquered wood, decorated in gold lacquer 平蒔絵 (hiramaki-e). The two sections are joined by shaped brass hinges and rest on long base rails with stepped ends.

Japan – Taishô period (1912–1926).
Dimensions: Height 138.9 cm, Width 158.6 (2 x 79.3 cm), Depth 2.8 cm.

In very good condition, with minor surface scratches, light rubbing and small losses to the lacquer, consistent with age and use. Detachable. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.

When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
