"Ornamental Tree Made Of Hard Stones, China, 20th Century"
Ornamental Hardstone Tree, China, 20th Century. This charming Chinese decorative tree, composed of flowers and leaves crafted from polished hardstones—jade, rose quartz, chalcedony, and carnelian—is delicately woven into the stems, which subtly evoke the natural movement of branches. The piece is presented in a cloisonné copper cachepot with turquoise enamel, adorned with stylized motifs and resting on gilt feet. A mid-20th-century Chinese work, in the tradition of scholar's objects and symbolic decorations of prosperity. In very good condition.
