Provenance
Acquired in 1983 from Jean-Claude Brugnot

Soon after being rewarded a first class medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle, Lucien Gaillard retained the services of Master Japanese lacquerers and engravers as well as metal alloys experts to work exclusively for him. They produced very few silver and lacquer objects such as the panel we exhibited at Masterpiece London in 2014 as well as objects and vases with patinas imitating tree barks made of metals of a special alloy often wrongly described as bronze. The highly technical lacquered composition of our tray could have only been executed by such a master. The set was executed and exhibited in 1904, the year Gaillard was awarded another first class medal at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.
