Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial

Located in Hudson, NY

This very finely cast bronze urn in an archaistic form was made in the very late 19th century approximately 1895-1900.

The urn has an old rosewood base and lid that seems to have been purpose made for the object. Finally, the whole is set off with a carved jade finial...
