This one roars, politely. An oversize Chinese lacquer charger, 70 centimetres of swirling cinnabar-red ground across which a golden dragon coils through gilded clouds. The lacquer is built up in fine concentric ribbons, a coiled craft tradition that catches the light like the rings of a tree, and the dragon is drawn in filigree gold leaf with feathered scales and trailing wisps that seem to be mid-flight. Presented upright on a slender stand, it stands 74 centimetres tall overall and reads as sculpture, painting and good-luck talisman all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dragon, of course, is no idle decoration. In Chinese symbolism he is the bringer of fortune, power and the spring rains, which makes this rather a generous thing to hang on a wall or perch in a hallway. It is a statement piece in the truest sense, the kind of object that ends a conversation and starts a better one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling \u0026amp; Collectors Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a piece that wants centre stage, so give it room and a sympathetic supporting cast.
