Cloisonnés from the collection of John P. Love, the Gables, Green Lane, Northwood, Middlesex
A photographic record of cloisonné vases from the collection of John P. Love at the Gables, Green Lane, Northwood, Middlesex, England, documenting Chinese metalwork pieces as objects. The four photographs show vases in sepia-toned studio views, with designs of dense scrolling foliage, dragons, and bands of ornament. A designer could take from them the tight repeating scroll patterns, the stepped band layouts, and the balance of pale enamel motifs against dark metal grounds.
