Chinese Extraordinary Natural Stone "Painting" Glacier Park
About the Item
Extraordinary natural work, one of a kind. Custom framed, D8
This Chinese extraordinary natural stone "painting" of a seemingly white glacial expanse could remind us of a similar and unique visual experience in our lives. The powerful and colorful depiction is executed in natural white, dark green- almost black, cream and yellow (limonite mineral) colors. 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.
This art form is centuries of years old since the Ming dynasty. Dream stones became favoured art in the west particularly since the 19th century when French collectors named them Pierres de reve.
This thin marble stone "painting" 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.
Dimensions:
Frame 24.5 inches high and 23.5 inches wide.
Site 16 inches diameter
Provenance: Private Chinese collection, Yunnan, China.
