Description:
A CARNELIAN AGATE GROUP OF HEHE ERXIAN, QING
China, 18th – 19th century. The fine carving depicts the twins standing in front of a large lotus leaf amid flying bats and a double gourd, the variegating colors of the stone cleverly used by the lapidary to further invigorate the scene.
Provenance: From a French private estate.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor old wear and some traces of use.
Weight: 130 grams
Dimensions: Height 7 cm
The small statue can also be worn as a pendant, due to two small holes inconspicuously integrated into the depiction.
Auction result comparison: Compare with a related carving at Christies South Kensington on November 11th, 2016, in Chinese Ceramics, Works of Art and Textiles Part II, lot 616.
清代瑪瑙合和二仙
中國,十八世紀至十九世紀。精美的雕刻描绘了合和二仙站在一片巨大的荷叶前面,上方飛舞著蝙蝠以及一個寶葫蘆,瑪瑙自然肌理點綴使這個擺件更加生動。宝石巧妙地使用的杂色的石头进一步激活了现场。
