Up for auction we have here an excellent c1920s Chinese ivory figural carving with hardwood stand. This great solid ivory carving was produced in China around the 1920s for the trade market. This is a well carved piece showing good details all over ecspecially to the adornments and faces. I am thinking this is Kwan Yin holding a peach branch with a child or deciple at her feet with him holding what looks like a hoe. She has nice flowing garments being highlighted in black ink with some of the ink getting a bit thin from age and handling. The ivory shows good strong graining with a wonderful aged patina and color. This is a substaintial carved hunk of ivory having good dense solid weight being from the solid end portion of the tusk. The carving sits upon a complimenting round turned hardwood stand giving the whole a height of 10-1/4". The ivory appears much older than what I have suggested, but to be safe I am saying the 1920s. Condition is perfect with no chips, cracks, losses or repairs. The hardwood stand is also excellent having only one small chip to the top rim's edge. Height 10-1/4" x Width 3" x Depth 2-1/2" and ivory alone is Height 8-1/4". Another fabulous ivory carving that I am offering this week so bid to win as you will be very pleased when it arrives at your door.

NOTE: Over the past 23 years I have been buying, selling and collecting Asian art and other high quality antiques and collectables. My main emphasis has been working with dealers, designers as well as a core group of serious collectors. About five years ago I decided to start offering some great items from the "Old China Trade" as well as good Japanese 18thc & 19thc antiques on ebay for auction. Not every item I offer will be from these two groups however I will only offer high quality pieces that will continually rise in value through the years to come while giving much enjoyment and satisfaction that other investments cannot provide. Good antiques definately deserve a place in ones financial portfolio. ***Please contact me with any questions, all questions will be answered within 24 hours. ***Ebay is soon going to only allow online payments so contact me if you need another method of payment. Insurance is optional but highly reccomended, totals will be figured at auctions end.
