Description: A carved Chenxiangmu ruyi from the 18th century. The large ruyi is carved with the 8 Immortals with Shou residing in the head among pine trees. Exquisitely carved in varying levels of relief with a continuous scene depicting the eight Daoist Immortals, including Tie Guaili, He Xiangu, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe, Lü Dongbin, and Han Xiangzi. The setting is detailed with large overhanging cloud, pine trees and jagged cliffs and rocky promontories. Chenxiangmu (eagleswood) ruyi scepters are rare objects for the scholar’s desk. They usually retain the natural form of the wood and are characteristically decorated with applied relief scenes pieced from smaller sections of wood as illustrated by the current ruyi. The three-dimensional composition of this ruyi is enhanced through the sophisticated use of high and low relief carving. The natural knots of the wood have been cleverly incorporated into the decoration, conveying a naturalistic rocky cascade. 如意以珍稀的沈香木為材,按照其天然形態,依勢造型,精心雕琢,工藝出神入化,如意首部為靈芝式,于松下雲間 雕有仙人三位,如意柄身亦飾有仙人五個,均腳踩松柏,手執各種法器,如蒲扇、笏板、拂塵等多樣物品穿插雕飾。衆仙雲中自在之姿,怡情賞景之事,亦暗合于文人墨客之雅好。該如意形體雕刻纖細生動,自然流暢,用沈香木雕琢,用料考究高貴,整器紋飾繁而有序,疏密適當,嚴絲合縫,極富美感,不僅增添了如意的韻味,更傳遞出富貴吉祥、福氣安康、財運連綿等美好祈願。沈香被喻為植物中鑽石,其與身俱來香氣,清新芬芳,亦可入藥。因生長不易,成材通常需數十年,或達數百年時間,且多朽木細幹,故用之雕刻大體積之器較為少見。此品誠為沈香木質如意之翹楚,其工藝精細,侈美奢華,是難得一見之物。參閱蘇富比香港,2018年4月3日,拍品3429號;蘇富比倫敦,2016年5月11日,拍品77號。 Dimensions are 22 inches tall X 6 1/2 inches wide.
