Chinese Abstract Stone Garden Ornament, c. 1850
About the Item
This curious carving dates to the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911), chiseled from solid limestone to an abstract, zoomorphic form. Possibly originating as an architectural finial, the stone sculpture has curving contours and evocative details suggestive of a rabbit, octopus or a mythical animal. Today, the small stone statue brings timeworn texture as a bookend, doorstop or garden ornament.

China Rare Antique Double Dragon Stone, 19thc
Located in South Burlington, VT
Here's one of the most beautiful Chinese antiques we have ever found in our travels in China over the past three decades.
This is a one-of-a-kind antique sandstone lintel which when installed and displayed could be a handsome addition to your decor. It dates to the 18th century of the Qing dynasty.
It still retains remnants of its original poly chrome surfaces. The carving and detail is deep and very fine.
Depicted are a pair of writhing dragons competing for the fabled -wish granting jewel- and possibly water waves beneath- all auspicious signs.
Dimensions:
13 inches high and 71 inches wide and 14 inches deep
Photographs taken in natural light in our garden.
Rare work of art.
Provenance: originally found in Chengdu Province and has been part of family collection since its acquisition in 2004.
Lifetime guarantee of authenticity. We are members of NAJGA- North American Japanese Garden...
