Description from the seller

Large Monumental Bonsai of Grand Dimensions - Juniper on Ancient Dry Wood - Height 70 cm - Unique Living Sculpture

Description

Overview:
At auction, an extraordinary large-scale bonsai arrangement. It is a true masterpiece of botanical art, featuring a vigorous Juniperus (Juniper) specimen cleverly set on a monumental piece of ancient dry wood. With its impressive verticality and the majestic presence of the wood, this living sculpture evokes the ancient junipers found in the most rugged mountain landscapes.

Style and Aesthetic:
• Monumental Dry Wood: The focal point is a splendid trunk shaped by natural weathering, with an imposing base width of 39 cm. The wood displays deep grain, natural cracks, and an extraordinary stage presence that serves as the perfect “soul” for the composition.
• The Living Vein: The juniper is deftly integrated into the ancient wood, with green, healthy foliage branches creating a vivid contrast with the light, aged texture of the dry wood.
• Vertical Impact: At 70 cm in height, the composition follows a slender, elegant line that balances the weight of the massive base. The canopy, 40 cm wide, is healthy, dense, and shows a vibrant green color, typical of a plant in excellent health.

Pot and Presentation:
The composition is presented in a high-quality rectangular blue glazed ceramic pot (length 45 cm). The deep blue glaze provides a professional and elegant finish, visually anchoring the large structure and enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Technical Specifications
• Type: Juniperus (Juniper) composition on Ancient Dry Wood
• Base Width of Dry Wood: 39 cm
• Height of Tree/Dry Wood: 70 cm
• Total Height (Pot + Tree): 81 cm (Note: Please verify if the total height is 81 cm, calculated as 70 cm tree + 11 cm pot, as the 63 cm indicated in the trace seems a typographical error since the tree is 70 cm)
• Canopy Width: 40 cm
• Pot Dimensions: 45 x 15 x 11 cm

Cultivation Notes
This bonsai is an outdoor composition. It is a very strong and well-established specimen. It requires a sunny position and regular watering. The dry wood has been treated (with jin liquid) to preserve its integrity and the characteristic pure white color.

Shipping
Given the size and weight of this piece, shipping will be carried out with specialized professional packaging. We use reinforced, tailor-made structures to ensure that the dry wood and foliage are fully protected during international transport.
