拍品描述

英文品名：A ZITAN TABLE SCREEN WITH HARDSTONE INLAY OF BOYS AT PLAY, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：L:28cm;W:23cm;H:42cm 此插屏以紫檀為框，屏心正面百寶鑲嬰戲圖：以碧玉、粉晶、青金、瑪瑙等各色寶石鑲出數童嬉花、持物、奔跑之態，背景刻竹石、芭蕉、欄杆，色彩繽紛而不俗。背面紫檀板淺浮雕同題材。底座鏤雕卷草紋站牙與如意雲紋足，工藝精湛，為清代百寶鑲插屏。百寶鑲，又稱「周制」，相傳始於明代周翥。其法以紫檀、黃花梨為地，開槽起線，選碧玉、翡翠、青金、瑪瑙、象牙、螺鈿、壽山石等，依圖案裁切成片，鑲入槽內，再以金屬線勾勒輪廓，打磨平整。一色一石皆依其天然色澤安排：葉用碧玉、花用粉晶、山石用青金，玲瓏如畫。清代宮中百寶鑲插屏、櫃櫥、掛屏最盛。 This zitan table screen features a front panel inlaid with hardstones depicting boys at play: jade, rose quartz, lapis lazuli, and agate form the figures of children running and playing among bamboo, rocks, banana leaves, and railings. The reverse is a zitan panel carved in low relief with a related scene. The stand has openwork scroll brackets and ruyi feet, showcasing fine Qing mixed-media inlay. Mixed hardstone inlay (baibaoqian), tradition linked with the Ming carver Zhou Zhu, uses a zitan or huanghuali ground routed with channels into which pieces of jade, jadeite, lapis, agate, ivory, mother-of-pearl and soapstone are cut to fit, outlined with fine metal wire and ground flush. Each stone is chosen for its natural colour—jade leaves, rose-quartz petals, lapis rocks—so the panel reads like a painting. The Qing court favoured this technique on table screens, cabinets and hanging panels.
