The Altfield Gallery is proud to present Japanese Decorative Arts from the Meiji Period, showcasing a remarkable selection of objects that were used for furnishing and ornamentaing the interior setting.




These pieces are objects of daily use with examples in a variety of materials including wood, lacquer, porcelain and textiles. The objects were prized for their form, function and overall decoration, reflecting the design sensibilities of this epoch as well as the timeless quality and restrained elegance of Japanese style.
