Description from the seller
## Description
An elegant and finely detailed brush rest cleverly modelled in the form of a flattened, gently curved scroll — a shape both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The surface is beautifully painted with a charming narrative scene in a harmonious blend of underglaze blue and overglaze famille rose enamels: a robed scholar seated in repose, accompanied by an attendant boy presenting a gift or offering, set within a serene garden landscape featuring blossoming plum branches, rocks and a simple balustrade. The sides are neatly framed with geometric diaper borders highlighted with gilded trim, enhancing the refined, scholarly feel of the piece — a delightful and practical addition to any scholar's desk.
**Dimensions:**
- Length: approx. **8 cm**
- Width: approx. **4 cm**
- Height: approx. **1.8 cm**
## Condition
- Gentle, even surface wear and minor rubbing to enamels and gilding consistent with age and regular use;
- No chips, cracks, hairlines or restoration observed; colours remain distinct and the painted scene is clear and intact;
- Overall in excellent, solid and well-preserved used condition.
