CHINESE ANTIQUE DATED 1880 GENUINE SHOUSHAN FURONG DOUBLE DRAGON STONE SEAL. This was a very valued piece in my grandfather’s antique collection. According to my grandfather’s notes, this is a beautiful Rare display of colors (Yellow, White and Red) FURONG Shoushan stone seal made in the late Qing Dynasty. Dated in The Spring of Chinese Lunar Calendar Year corresponding to 1880 (period of Emperor GuangXu). The natural yellow color on the top was used by the artist to carve the two dragons chasing a pearl. Meanwhile, the rectangular body of the seal is jelly translucent white with some pinkish-red splash. The bottom of the seal reads a famous Buddhist Quote saying “Having Nothing could mean Having Everything”. This is a beautiful, real natural stone. Not a piece made of artificial materials or of stone powder and stabilizers as the modern copies and fakes which are flooding the market in the later years. The”FURONG” (hibiscus stone) is known as one of the “three treasures of Yinshi” (Tianhuang, Furong, Chicken Blood). Please see all the pictures attached as they are all part of the description.
