A BAMBOO VENEER 'DOUBLE LOZENGE' BOX AND COVER
清  文竹雕夔紋方勝形蓋盒

QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)

細節
文竹,於清代又稱竹簧、翻簧,為清代乾隆時期盛行的宮廷竹刻藝術之一種。其製作系以大型楠竹為材,用刀劈去竹青和竹肌後,僅餘如厚紙一般薄厚的淺黃色竹簧片,再經水煮、晾乾、壓平等工序,貼於器胎,方施雕刻。清代乾隆時期,江南各地織造按清宮如意館畫師提供圖樣加以採辦,同時宮廷亦將貼簧匠人召入宮中加以製作,本拍品即為其中之佳例。北京故宮博物院藏有一件造型類似的文竹方勝形蓋盒,著錄於
《中國美術全集工藝美術編 – 11 – 竹木牙角器》北京,1987年,
圖版58號。

拍品專文

The technique of bamboo veneer involves stripping the interior surface of the bamboo cortex, soaking it and pressing it flat, and then applying it as a veneer to the base material of the object. It was a time-consuming technique that required extraordinary technical skill, but it nonetheless was a time-consuming technique that required extraordinary technical skill, but i nonetheless allowed for the production of works far beyond the range of shapes and sizes possible of the natural bamboo stem and root.
