This beautiful set of Japanese hand-carved crabs dates back to around 1900. Crafted with great attention to detail, the crabs showcase the refined craft skills of the time. The antique ivory gives the crabs a beautiful skin and feel, while the black eyes provide a subtle contrast. These decorative objects are indispensable for lovers of antiques and Japanese art.
Uniquely, these fanatically collected objects rarely come on the market, much less as a cohesive set.
Brilliant craftsmanship which was enormous hours intensive in the making process !
For example, a crab consists of 32 moving parts and even the hinge pins are made of the same material....
