About the Item
This exquisite Vintage Chinese Ivory Pendant, masterfully carved in the likeness of an emperor, is a striking representation of traditional Chinese artistry and regal symbolism. The figure is delicately detailed, from the serene expression and flowing robes to the intricate headdress, capturing the dignity and spiritual presence of imperial portraiture. The ivory has aged beautifully, developing a warm, creamy patina that highlights the fine craftsmanship and depth of carving.
Suspended from a solid 14kt gold chain, the pendant is elevated from a simple work of art to a refined piece of wearable heritage. The gold offers a rich contrast to the organic ivory tones, adding both luxury and strength to the overall design. Likely created in the mid-20th century, this piece speaks to a time when traditional hand-carving met modern jewelry design, creating a unique fusion of culture and elegance.
This necklace is ideal for collectors of Asian antiques, vintage fine jewelry, or anyone who appreciates symbolic and meticulously crafted adornments. A rare find, it serves as both a statement of style and a tribute to history, legacy, and the enduring beauty of skilled artisan work.
