十九世紀 青白玉飾 二十世紀初鑲銀改爲鐘座 《EDWARD I. FARMER》款The several jades that make up this ensemble were brought together and re-purposed by Edward I. Farmer (1872-1942), a New York-based antique dealer whose galleries operated on 56th street from 1913 until his death in 1942. Farmer became well-known for employing Chinese porcelain, jade and hardstone to design desktop objects such as inkwells, lamps, cigarette boxes and clocks, embellishing the early Chinese works of art with sterling silver or gilt metal mounts. After Farmer's passing, his estate and shop inventory was offered in the three day sale by Parke Bernet galleries in April 1947.
