This beautiful large lacquer rack incurred some damage that has been repaired some time ago. The 2 panels at the front feature gold tone images (the top shows an at-sea battle; the bottom a pastoral scene). The quality of the images is very good with clear details on the faces of the characters. There are 2 hook holes at the top of the rack to hang from nails in the wall, and a fixed centre holder for resting rolled or folded newspapers or magazines.
The rack is 16 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 2.5 inches deep.
CONDITION:
The piece has several nicks to the edges as shown in the pictures. The front piece shows signs of being broken and repaired when examined at close range. Now the pice is quite solidly glued in place and one can see attempts made to repaint the decoration over the repair.
