Carved rectangular greyish yellow Chinese Seal deer -China- 20th Century
On offer is a fine good quality greyish-yellow Chinese stone Seal. The seal is nicely carved with a deer sitting on top of the seal. 12 Chinese characters are carved into the pedestal. The stone seal is semi-translucent. The face of the seal has engraved characters, done in average quality, that are synonymous with the artist. Nice smooth surface by use. UV check shows that the stone is natural, so not artificially colored.
Provenance: Recently, we had the privilege of acquiring a richly varied collection of old/antique Chinese stone seals. These remarkable seals have been brought together over many years by a private collector. They consist of good quality authentic Chinese seals made from various colored mineral stones, including possibly shoushan stone (larderite). The dating varies; but they are all from the Qing period to the 20th century.
During the coming period, we will offer several pieces at a time. Please use your knowledge and judge for yourself, we offer it without reserve price. Don't miss this opportunity! Good luck bidding!
