China Fine Antique Chair With Dream Stones And Mother Pearl Inlay
Located in South Burlington, VT
Finest Quality Dreamstone Inlaid Chair
China- an extraordinary prolifically crafted example of an antique hand carved hardwood chair inlaid with multiple natural dream stone "paintings" plus "butterfly and mother of pearl" inlays in its hardwood arms and seat, late 19th century.
This type of old Chinese furniture art form with marble inlay is centuries of years old dating as far back as the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).
Fine round and rectangular dream stones depicting mountains and the natural outdoor scenery are inlaid in the seat, back and interior sides of this fine furniture example. Thin marble inlaid stone "paintings" are approximately 1/4" thick and are cut from a large slab of rough material revealing incredible patterns in soft white and gray colors. The hardwood (elmwood) frame is tenon joined. The natural stone "paintings" were hand especially for fine export chairs as in this example.
Chair dimensions:
Height 38.75 inches
Width 25.75 inches
Depth 19 inches
Period : late Qing period, 19th century
Provenance: Private American Chinese collection

Set of Four Chinese Lacquered Panels with Palace Pavilion Inlay
Located in Chicago, IL
This 19th-century four panel screen depicts an elegant palatial setting with gilt brushwork and fine inlay of soapstone, agate, jade, and bone. Robed members of the imperial court stroll through a palace courtyard, enclosed by grand archways and lattice railings. The scene is dotted with brushed foliage and the occasional scholars' object, and surmounted by large, gracefully branching inlaid trees. Set against a black lacquer background, the carved inlay adds subtle dimension to the scene and colors the figures and architecture with the irregular, natural patterning of each stone. The screen is a beautiful example of the Chinese inlay...
