Pair of Antique Handmade Japanese (Fuchin) Scroll Weights with Silk Tassels
Pictured is a beautiful set of rare Japanese handmade Fuchin from the 1900s, in excellent, original condition. They have a metal weight for the interior that is encased, (just like an egg,) with a wonderful braiding technique similar to the Haori-himo, which is a jacket tie, and delicate netting over the outer edges of the piece. Scroll weights are hung from the ends of the hanging scroll (Kakejiju) to add a decorative finish to any piece. Hooked around the roller ends, they help keep the scroll hang straight and control it from moving. The weights are beige on beige with a cocoa brown silk tassel. Dimensions: 10-0”L including tassels.
Excellent Condition- In unused, or like-unused condition. No visual or structural or surface wear or damage shown. Pristine. As good as the day it was made.
Great Condition- Appears in slightly used condition but looks "Like New". Some minor wear, but retains the original craft/workmanship. May show minor wear, that does not affect the main design, or associated motif. No cracks, dents, chips or missing elements.
Good Condition- Minor wear which can be restored or repaired; may have surface flaws, like staining or soiling, confined to a small area. The flaw(s) are counterbalanced by another feature, like brilliant color or innovative design. Some fading or the piece may have been altered in some fashion.
Fair Condition- Main aesthetic/design showing damage. Excessive noticeable wear or damage. Worth buying if can be restored/repaired because of its aesthetic or design appeal or rarity. Note: wear/damage consistent with age/use can often enhance the 'Antique' qualities of a piece, giving it a desirable second chance in one's collection
