Faux Ivory Figure of Seated Empress
About the Item
Faux ivory figure of Empress seated on her throne. Wearing a hat and a long pearl necklace, the Empress is seated on a claw-footed throne with a meditative expression on her serene and rather beautiful face. The figure is nicely carved, with the embroidery on her robes clearly detailed. Made to resemble real ivory at lower cost, early to mid 20th century ivory has a pleasing heft and looks similar to the real thing without the cruelty.
The figure is set on a simple carved wood stand and would make an attractive desk ornament.
