The first cabinet, signed Yoshikazu and formerly from the distinguished Edoris Collection, is of impressive scale and elaborately constructed with a complex arrangement of variously sized drawers, sliding doors, and hinged compartments. The surfaces are richly carved, stained, incised, and pierced with approximately four hundred and twenty-five depictions of quail amidst millet and flowering foliage. Opening the principal doors reveals additional drawers and sliding compartments, several retaining luxurious gold nashiji lacquer interiors. The sides are further enhanced with ivory inlay carved to simulate woven basketry. The cabinet is illustrated in A.B. Levy Volume XLIV, page 93. Height 25 1/2 inches. The second example, is a carved ivory “Quail” cabinet fitted with nine cabinet doors and eight drawers carved in deep relief and delicate openwork depicting quail amongst scrolling foliage and formal borders. The interior shelves are engraved with repeating geometric motifs, portions retaining fine gold nashiji lacquer decoration, while the reverse features silhouetted quail motifs and the sides are carved to imitate elegant wickerwork. Signed. Height 20 1/4 in. Throughout both cabinets, the quail motif — symbolic in Japanese art of prosperity, abundance, and seasonal beauty — is rendered with remarkable vitality and naturalism. Together, these works embody the ornamental richness and sophisticated craftsmanship that define the finest Meiji period export works."
