This is a fine brass Japanese brass metal page-turner. On the front handle the page-turner features a horsefly poised on woven bamboo mat, wonderfully detailed in relief. The "blade" area of this piece is decorated with a peaceful rendering of a stock of bamboo and a plump bird in flight. The reverse shows a relief of two bats in flight. A powerful and strong image that is not only dimensional but is extremely well balanced. There is some discoloration (perhaps water exposure) that I've been advised can be cleaned or rubbed away. This page-turner was part of a very esteemed collection, and save for some slight discoloration (as shown) is in fine antique condition.
This item measures 8.4" long X 0.8? wide X 0.3? deep; the weight is 2 Oz. Shipping and Insurance USPS Priority Mail within the U.S. is $6.00. The estimated appraised value of this item is over $150.00. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
