Hand-Carved Vintage Chinese Sculptures – Set of 2 (25cm & 16cm)
Description: For sale is this elegant pair of hand-carved sculptures from China. The figures are made of natural stone (likely serpentine jade or hard stone) and impress with their detailed craftsmanship and soft coloring with natural veining.
Figure Details: Mid-Century, circa 1950s to 1970s
Large sculpture (approx. 25 cm high; 6.5 cm wide; 5.5 cm deep): A graceful lady in a traditional robe. A striking feature is the contrasting brown stone base (made of the same material) upon which the light-colored figure rests.
Small sculpture (approx. 16 cm high; 4.5 cm wide; 5 cm deep): A detailed depiction of a woman with a basket and a fish in her hands – a classic Asian symbol of good fortune and prosperity. This figure stands securely on its own integrated base.
Condition: The figures are in good vintage condition with an authentic patina. As is typical for handcrafted natural stone objects of this age, there are small chips on the delicate edges of the garments and on the basket and fish motifs. The brown base of the larger figure also shows slight signs of age, which emphasize its antique character.
A beautiful ensemble for lovers of Asian art or as a special accent for your home.
