About the Item
20th century Chinese hardstone flowering tree in a cloisonné planter
Chinese, 20th century
Height 42cm, width 33cm, depth 31cm
This exquisite 20th-century Chinese hardstone tree is a beautiful fusion of artistic skill and cultural symbolism. Designed as an ornamental flowering tree, the sculpture is set in a rectangular cloisonné enamel pot, richly glazed in turquoise blue and adorned with traditional floral patterns in shades of pink, red, and cobalt. Gilded accents around the rim and base add a luxurious finish to the planter.
Emerging from the pot is a twisted, wrapped wire trunk that branches into a stunning display of carved hardstone blossoms and leaves. The flowers are shaped from polished stones including rose quartz and agate, with soft pink and orange hues that mimic real blooms. Each flower is delicately detailed with beadwork to suggest stamen, adding depth and realism. The foliage, cut from rich green and mottled nephrite, provides contrast and texture, enhancing the naturalistic effect.
Beyond its decorative appeal, this floral sculpture is deeply rooted in Chinese symbolism. Nephrite is traditionally associated with protection and good fortune and rose quartz with emotional healing and love. These carefully chosen stones imbue the piece with spiritual meaning as well as visual charm.
Perfect for collectors of Asian decorative arts, this ornamental tree offers a timeless blend of natural beauty, cultural significance, and refined craftsmanship.

Chinese hardstone floral tree in a cloisonné enamel planter
Chinese, 20th Century
Height 19cm, width 13cm, depth 11cm
This stunning flower model combines several semi-precious hardstones with a petite cloisonné enamel planter. Sitting atop a resin-treated metal trunk are multiple hardstone blooms, with materials including lapis lazuli, rose quartz, and carnelian. Each blossom is centred by a stigma, which comprises yellow beads held together by thread-wrapped wire. The vibrant and pastel shades of the flowers are excellently contrasted by the dark green leaves, which are expertly carved from nephrite.
The tree sits within a black cloisonné enamel planter. The pot is decorated with pastel pink flowers surrounded by green leaves, complementing the floral theme of the object. Miniature gold clouds cover the entirety of the pot, which in Chinese culture symbolise oncoming good fortune.
Bringing together many precious materials and historic techniques, this beautiful Chinese work...

Chinese, 20th Century
Height 18cm, width 11cm, depth 11cm
This intricate flower model combines super cloisonné enamelling with several carved semi-precious stones, making it a highly collectable object.
A metal trunk is set within the planter, treated with resin to evoke the natural texture of the bark. The trompe l’oeil illusion is continued via the branches, which are comprised of wire wrapped with brown thread. The branches are capped with a number of nephrite leaves and hardstone blooms, which contrast dark green shades with light red and pink flowers. The petals are carved from carnelian, rose quartz, and jade, and these hardstones can connote symbolic symbolism such as strength and healing. Each bloom is centred by a beaded stigma, the bright colours of which stand out against the hardstones.
