拍品描述

英文品名：A PAIR OF GILT-BRONZE AUSPICIOUS DEER, ON CARVED WOOD STANDS, QING DYNASTY 尺寸：L:24cm;W:11cm;H:34cm 此為成對銅鎏金瑞鹿，作站立姿，昂首遠眺，鹿角崢嶸，通體金箔斑斕，肩、背、臀處點綴深色梅花斑紋。下承紫檀木雕如意雲紋底座，木色深沉。成對保存完好，金彩豔麗。為清代宮廷陳設瑞獸。鹿，諧「祿」，為五福之一（富貴祿位），民間與福、壽並稱福祿壽。瑞鹿馳騁於祥雲之間，象徵官祿綿長、加官進祿。又鹿為長壽之獸，傳說壽星騎鹿、仙翁馭鹿。故宮中、園林中多鑄銅鹿、玉鹿成對陳列，與鶴並置，取「六合同春」之意。 This pair of gilt-bronze auspicious deer stands alert, head raised, antlers branching, the gilding flecked, dark plum spots on shoulder, back and rump. They stand on separately carved zitan ruyi-cloud stands, the wood dark. The pair survives intact, the gilding bright. It is a Qing court display pair. Deer is a homophone for lu (emolument), one of the Five Blessings, paired with Fu and Shou as fortune-emolument-longevity. Auspicious deer amid clouds wished for lasting rank; deer also symbolized longevity, the God of Longevity riding a deer. The palace and gardens displayed pairs of bronze or jade deer, often with cranes, wishing six harmonies spring.
