Exceptional Japanese Satsuma plate dating to the Meiji period, hand-painted with a finely detailed scene of a samurai procession moving through a coastal landscape with Mount Fuji in the background.
The composition features numerous figures in ceremonial attire, rendered with remarkable precision, layered enamels, and extensive gilding. The rich color palette and refined brushwork are characteristic of high-quality Meiji-era Satsuma ware produced for the export market.
This plate represents a fine example of late 19th-century Japanese decorative arts, combining narrative imagery, technical skill, and strong visual presence - ideal for collectors of Japanese ceramics or as an elegant display piece.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
