This is an Art Deco design plate from an French unbound album of Chinese lacquerwork called “les Laques du Coromandel". This is an example of the decorative Chinese craft of using lacquer on wood in successive layers, first working deep incisions and hollowed out details and then finely applying paint. The process was discovered by European artists and enjoyed success in France between 1910-1930. This lithograph features a large bird perched on a tree branch lush with flowering blossoms and surrounded by many smaller birds. The details of the image are intricate and elaborate and have a dramatic effect. Note that the image in horizontal format was a design for a tryptic screen. Coromandel screens are highly desireable . The lithograph dates to 1925 and captures the essence of the beautiful techniques of lacquerwork designing. Rare and unusual work in horizontal format, image measures 9 x 12 inches.
