Description from the seller
Lobster — Hand-sculpted bone sculpture
Bone sculpture depicting a lobster, entirely carved and engraved by hand with a remarkable level of detail: tapered antennae, finely worked legs, segmented and textured shell.
Sculpted in the Far East, 20th century. Provenance: TresOrient Gallery, a family-run house specializing in Asian arts since 1962 (Paris region).
Dimensions: body 35 × l. 20 × h. 10 cm — L. 60 cm with antennae extended
Weight: 900 g
Shipping: careful, insured and trackable shipment from France — reinforced packaging adapted to the fragility of the antennae.
Seller's Story
Born in Hong Kong and arrived in Paris with his whole family, Mr. Pak trained as an econometric statistician at the University of Paris Dauphine and Paris Sorbonne. Growing up in the art world and having completed unfinished but significant studies at the Louvre School, the experience gained from his father ultimately destined him to take over the family home.
For many years, he traveled the world (Russia, China, Japan, Middle East, Africa, the Americas) enriching and renewing the immense family heritage with exceptional pieces. This eclectic collection today consists of 26,000 works of art.
