Superb Celadon Jade Boulder Mountain

About the Item

This elongated triangular jade mountain stands on a wooden lacquer base. On the mountain, there are a total of five monkeys: two playing, one resting, and two others at the mountain’s peak, seemingly about to descend to investigate what is happening. The stone’s side displays two bat Feng Shui symbols. (In Chinese, the bat is bianfu. Fu also means fortune.) There is also a magnificent pine tree with branches gracefully hanging down. The cut of the mountain rocks exhibits clean lines and a geometric quality, which is typical of the Qianlong period. Additionally, the monkey’s face shares similarities with Qianlong period jade monkeys seen at Sotheby’s. The depth of the carving gives it a three-dimensional quality that is rarely seen. Dimensions Jade Height 9.5", Height with base: 11.75", Width: 5.75" Depth: 3.5" Weight 7.2 lbs. Historical References Examples of Qianlong period jade mountain carvings sold at Sotheby's and Christie's attached. Provenance — From a gentleman in New York, collected from 1920 - 1945 Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to the condition and must understand that any statement made by Luxury Jewelry & Jade Art is merely a subjective opinion.
