The use of a bright orangish-red background adds a sense of vibrancy and energy to the pieces, while the intricate lotus scrolls, flowers, and birds that adorn them create a sense of tranquillity and beauty. The floral and avian motifs that decorate the brush washers are rendered with remarkable precision and delicacy. Each element of the pattern is executed with exquisite attention to detail, reflecting the skill and expertise of the artisans who created the pieces. The use of the lotus, which is a symbol of purity and enlightenment in Chinese culture, adds a layer of symbolic meaning to the design.Size: L:280-280mm / W:115-115mm ; 2.07kgProvenance: From United Kingdom / European estate collections and antique fairs; acquired between 1970 and 2010.
