An Ancient Decorative Art, 5,000 Year Old Cloisonné began in the Near East and spread to Europe, China, and South Asia. It was originally created to embellish metal objects such as jewelry, weapons, & religious objects with colored glass or gemstones, which would be painstakingly cut to fit, and held in place (and held apart) by tiny metal wires or fine metal strips, usually of gold. First the wires or strips were attached / soldered to the base, creating tiny compartments (“cloisons,” in French) which were part of the visible design. The later cloisonné enamel technique fills the cloisons with colored enamel powder which is then fired in a kiln. Painted enamel on copper, also called “Canton enamel,” may be confused with cloisonné, but is an imitative technique with no partition detail. The Japanese became famous for their cloisonné of high technical quality from 1890 to 1910, the “Golden Age” of Japanese enamels, although cloisonné tracks back to ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Scythia, Cyprus and Byzantium!

DECORATIVE ARTS: Two fine Asian paintings, each on hinged silk panels; late 19th c. carved “kitchen clock;” nice selection of lamp styles: floor lamps, crystal, glass, and ceramic table lamps, antique boudoir lamps (lovely on a vanity!) - vintage, traditional and contemporary; gilt faux-bamboo wall mirror; glass Vitrine; pairs of candlesticks, bookends, carved figures in porcelain, stone and wood; handsome tabletop stone horse sculpture; Hollywood Regency style antique vanity pieces – vanity tray, glass jewel box, and cosmetics box. 

COLLECTION OF ART METALS: Early brass, silver, & copperware from Turkey and the Near East including bowls, cookware, braziers, pitchers, coffee servers, utensils and implements – each today is worthy of display, in a kitchen or filling a wall. Many were collected 2 generations back.
