    Japanese gilt bronze Gu vase or candlestick Edo period 1860

    Emerging from a Japan undergoing a metamorphosis as it opened up to the Western world, this gilded bronze vase 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 late Edo period, around 1860, it celebrates the deep connection of Japanese art with nature: its floral motifs are engraved all over the body of the vase, surrounded by pointed shapes evoking Shinto temple roofs.

    This vase is a veritable nugget of Japanese cultural art history. Indeed, following the opening of Japan to the world in 1868, Japan was able to demonstrate to Westerners the know-how and exceptional 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 Edo-era bronzes continue to fascinate Western collectors eager for refined exoticism.

    Whether you're a lover of Japanese bronzes or a collector of Asian curiosities, order this Edo gilt bronze vase today!

    Fast & careful delivery in France, Europe and worldwide.
