AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An elegant hand mirror, finely mounted with antique jade carvings set within an ornate metal frame. The handle features a prominent carved jade belt hook formed as a dragon head and chilong, skilfully pierced and sculpted with fluid, sinuous forms and natural russet inclusions in the pale celadon stone. Above, the circular mirror panel is backed by a large, thick jade roundel carved and pierced with a lively phoenix or bird amidst scrolling foliage, the stone of soft creamy tone with subtle warm inclusions. The silvered metal mount displays fine twisted-wire and beaded borders with bat-form scrollwork at the junction. A rare and scholarly object combining two well-carved jades into a luxurious vanity piece.
