Jiulongbi Mountain Meditation Stone

About the Item

A well-chosen stone is a focal point of both a traditional Chinese garden and a scholar's studio, evoking the complexities of nature and inspiring creative thought. Polished to bring out its evocative veining and smooth its edges, this mesmerizing stone resembles a mountain range with its peaks and valleys, swirling with rich earth tones. An elaborately carved wooden frame, custom made to the stone's curves, elevates the piece to a work of sculpture.

  • Chinese Guardian's Tail Inkstone, circa 1850
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Scholarly pursuits such as painting, calligraphy, and poetry were a highly respected and revered subculture in ancient China, and demanded their own set of tools that were not only functional, but also beautiful. One of the "Four Treasures of the Study," inkstones such as this were used to mix dry ink with water for use in calligraphy painting. This 19th century inkstone is guarded by a mythical fu dog, or shizi, depicted with open jaws and a long mane of flowing curls. Resembling a Buddhist fly whisk...

  • Abstract Scholar Rock Viewing Stone on Wood Stand
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    On offer is a highly abstract scholar rock on a fitted wood stand collected by an American collector in Palm Desert, CA. The dense rock in dark grey is likely granite and takes a natural sculptural form of a bird, which explains the note on the back from the previous collector "A Constantin Brancusi Bird". The rock is presented in the tradition of a Chinese scholar rock on a fitted carved wood stand, very sculptural and visually interesting from different angles.
