Robert Belcher Antiques

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.
You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.
All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Description
A striking and highly unusual Chinese cinnabar lacquer tray, dating to circa 1920, executed in the exceptionally rare blue-over-black lacquer colourway.
Expertly hand-carved using a technique reminiscent of fine cameo work, the decoration is cut through layers of blue lacquer to reveal the contrasting black ground beneath, creating remarkable depth and detail. At the centre is a richly carved rectangular panel featuring an enchanting menagerie of animals and wildlife, including cats, dogs, squirrels, rabbits, fish, birds, and insects, all rendered with exceptional craftsmanship.
The central scene is framed by intricately carved decorative borders that enhance the tray's visual impact and demonstrate the skill of the artisan. Both sculptural and decorative, this impressive piece exemplifies the artistry of early 20th-century Chinese lacquer work.
Presented in excellent original condition, it would make a superb display piece, whether mounted on a wall or showcased on a tabletop or stand.
Chinese, circa 1920.
