A BOXWOOD AND GILT-METAL SCABBARD WITH JADE-HANDLED KNIFE
QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY
清十八世紀 青玉把文刀配黃楊木鞘
the scabbard finely carved with an interlocking coin design, with gilt-metal mounts at either end, the knife handle of pale celadon colour
(2)
Length 29.1 cm, 11? in.
長 29.1 公分,11? 英寸
The scabbard is in good overall condition. The gilt-metal mount at one end has been glued. There are three faint cracks to the boxwood, none of them extending more than halfway long the scabbard.
The gilding is slightly worn, consistent with age.
There is a natural fissure at the end of the jade handle which looks like a restored chip but has not in fact split away from the handle.
