Rare Exceptional Antique Chinese Carved Amber Brooch

About the Item

This is a stunning antique Chinese carved amber brooch. The age of the amber is approximately 150-200 years old. Amber of this quality and dark hue tends to be around of that age. Amber slowly adapts from bright yellow to dark red and purple as it gives it a natural rich patina. The carved workmanship on this brooch is one of a kind, similarly to the carving of fine jade with lotus theme. You can find similar examples of Chinese amber figures and carving sold in Christie’s and Sothebys. The brooch stands at 2 1/2 inches tall, and is 3 1/8 inches in length. It weighs about 48 grams. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
