SOLD ITEM 9683 - Japanese Edo Abumi stirrups by Nakamura Keiken

There are 12 images of this item.

Pair of Abumi, saddle stirrups made by “Nakamura Keiken”. The Nakamura family are well known metal artists who also made Tsuba and other Samurai metal works in the Japanese Edo period. This pair of stirrups are both inlaid with pure gold and have Ryusui, a water theme. Natural wear, minor gold loss in some areas. Dating from the 18th-19th century. Each strirup measures 12 inches long x 10 inches high x 5 inches wide. Stirrups like these were used to support the rider’s feet while seated on horseback. During warfare, they allowed mounted samurai to stabilize position and control the horse while firing a weapon or brandishing a sword. Curving up and back in the front, they bring the loop for the leather connecting-strap over the instep, providing superior balance. Only high-ranking samurai could ride horses in the Edo period. Elegantly decorated stirrups were a sign of the owner’s privileged position.

"Thanks so much for the appraisal - our curiosity has now been satisfied. For the last 4 years, since purchasing the home, we have often wondered the value. Have a wonderful week." - Ryan and Lesley H

"Thank you so much... I have a similar table, in not as good of condition... it has a minor split and a ring from a hot plate.... I am considering selling it, so I appreciate this service you provide... thanks so much." - M

"I just want to take a moment to respond with a hearty thank you for being out there with this information! Until I punched in "filigree" along with antique/brass/hanging/Indian/etc......I wasn't pulling up any pictures that resemble what I have. My Dad was an art/antique/music box collector-dealer who left behind many items I have hung onto, but never knew the approximate value of. I have one such fixture with the same lattice-type work, but it is taller, in that it has a more domed top/shape. It also only has one bulb. Now, I'm off to check your response on the cloisonne lamp...... Thanks again.......I'm glad to know you're out there." - Debbie G
