Menuki are traditional metal ornaments woven onto the hilt of a sword or knife, an artform which is considered its own unique profession within Japanese metalsmithing. Almost always obscured by the handle-wrapping for which they are intended, here the menuki are repurposed and placed on full display on the bamboo shafts as purely decorative objects intended for export. Very much continuing in the tradition of the eighteenth-century marchands merciers before them, the firm of Barbedienne further adapted these ‘Oriental’ objects at the height of the goût japonais with by adapting the bamboo shafts into lamps and raising them with Barbedienne’s characteristic tête d'éléphant feet.
