AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Japanese decorative plate from the brand "THE ART OF CHOKIN", recognizable by its engraving and precious metal application technique. The visible face features a refined central decoration depicting two stylized peacocks surrounded by flowers, executed with great finesse in shades of gold, silver, and copper. The motif highlights the precision of chokin work, a traditional Japanese technique consisting of engraving and then applying 24K gold and silver leaf to a metal surface, creating relief and brilliance effects.

The edge of the plate features two wide bands with an opalescent white appearance separated by a golden line, enhanced by a wide golden rim on the outer edge. The slightly recessed center is adorned with the peacock and flower motif on a metallic background, offering an elegant contrast between the brilliance of the precious metals and the softness of the satin white.

The floral composition includes peonies and other stylized flowers, with foliage in gold, silver, and copper tones, accentuating the richness of the decor. The peacocks, traditional symbols of elegance and prosperity in Japan, are treated with great attention to detail, their feathers finely carved and punctuated with metallic highlights.

The overall style evokes Japanese decorative arts of the second half of the 20th century, typical of "THE ART OF CHOKIN" pieces. The plate harmoniously combines modernity of presentation with respect for traditional artisanal techniques.

The visual condition shows some traces of wear or handling marks on the outer golden rim, without major impact on the legibility of the central decoration. No chips or cracks are visible on the presented face.
