Vintage Chinese Finely Carved Yellow Pixiu Archaic Dragon Seal w/Stand 20th Cent
Located in Richmond, CA
This vintage Chinese seal is an exquisite example of craftsmanship, intricately carved to feature a Pixiu, the legendary son of the dragon, perched majestically atop a square mound. The Pixiu is vividly depicted, complete with water flowing from its mouth and eyes that bulge with mythical intensity. Pixiu is considered a creature of wealth and is believed to have the power to attract and protect its owner's fortunes. It is often used in Feng Shui for this purpose. Pixiu figures are often used as talismans or ornaments to attract wealth and good fortune.
The square mound itself serves as a canvas for archaic decorations, featuring stylized dragons that are intricately carved into the detailed ground. These dragons not only add aesthetic appeal but also imbue the piece with historical and cultural significance, linking it to ancient Chinese traditions and folklore.
What elevates this seal further is the material's yellow hue, which displays characteristics of the highly prized field yellow "Tian Huang...

A Zitan and Jade Inset Ruyi Scepter
Located in Austin, TX
A Chinese "ruyi" scepter of zitan wood with inset carved jade plaques featuring the "jixiang ba bao".
The ruyi, (lit. "as you wish") has long been a symbol of power and authority in China. Originally a Buddhist religious emblem, the ruyi was seen as a symbol of the Buddha's or bodhisattvas' (and by extension their temporal representatives') ability to grant boons or wishes. In the Song Dynasty (960-1276), the ruyi was adopted by the literati as a kind of "talking stick", and came to symbolize authority in discussion and debate. The ruyi was finally co-opted by the politicos in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and turned into a luxurious expression of power and wealth.
This particular example is crafted from zitan wood and features three inset carved jade plaques. Zitan (lit. purple sandalwood) is a tropical hardwood that has long been revered as the most desirable hardwood in the Chinese furniture making tradition. The jade is of very pale celadon, bordering on white, with an even hue and translucency throughout. The carving features one large stylized "Xi" (happiness) character, and the "Jixiang Ba Bao" (Eight Auspicious Symbols) - the treasure vase...
