Extraordinary Landscape "Moonlight Long Horizons" Work of Art

About the Item

Extraordinary natural stone work of art, one of a kind. This Chinese extraordinary natural stone "painting" suggestive of a group of mountain peaks landscape features light and dark colors, white, cream, yellow and dark green. This is called a dream stone Shih-Hua. They are cut from historic Dali marble found in the Cangshan Mountains of western China. These mysterious mountains, unique in the world, are known for yielding incredible and fantastic natural landscaped works of art created over tens of millions of years from mineral inclusions that affected the process of ancient organic material which transformed into limestone and finally resulted in marble- a metamorphic hard stone. It is a round cut stone and is set in a circular mat- the image suggests the appearance of a planet. This art form is centuries of years old since the Ming dynasty. Dream stones became favored art in the west particularly since the 19th century when French collectors named them Pierres de reve. This thin marble stone is approximately 1/4" thick and is cut from a large slab of rough material revealing incredible patterns in soft white and gray colors. Its weight is surprisingly modest- easily hung with standard hardware. On occasion, private collectors would invite an artisan to inscribe a poetic description onto their more important dream stones and in this case the artists' seal mark and calligraphy translation reads: Dimensions: Frame: 15.5 inches high and 33 inches wide. Site: 8 inches by 28 inches Provenance: Private Chinese collection, Yunnan, China. History of dream stone "moon light" works of art: Moonlight stones are stones that Chinese collectors think of as moonlight reflecting off water.
