STUNNING RARE ANTIQUE CHINESE FOOCHOW FUZHOU GILDED LACQUER DRAGON SCROLL WEIGHT
This is a stunning quality Chinese Foochow carved wood lacquer paperweight/scroll weight, in the form of a mythical whiskered beast. It would have original had a paper makers label on the base but this has worn off. Made in Foo chow/Fuzhou famous for it’s high quality lacquer work. Dates from around 1911. In overall good condition for age but with small piece of stem missing. Some rubbing to the high points of gilding and edge wear to the corners of base – see photos or ask questions. There is a very similar one in the V & A collection, London. This paperweight was made shortly after the fall of the QUING dynasty in 1911 when China became a republic. The technique with which it was made is however more than a thousand years old. It is sometimes called bodiless lacquer because the silk core of the object is so light in weight that it feels almost like nothing. The sap of the lacquer tree was mixed with the wheat flour and applied to the core. The surface of the paperweight was then polished and painted with coloured lacquer. Fuzhou was one of the centres specialising in silk lacquer. Check out my other items. Condition – please inspect the photos as they are an intrinsic part of the description and condition. In overall good condition for age but with small piece of one whisker missing and tiny chips to the tips of it’s ears. 22cm (8 3/4″) X 3cm (1 1/8″) X 4.5cm (1 3/4) Tall.

Vintage Gold Gilded Sterling Filigree & Enamel Signed Chinese Dragon on Stand. The dragon measures 8 1/2″ long by 3 1/2″ wide by 11 tall with the base. The dragon’s foot is stamped “Silver 925″. This is the only markings found on the statue. The dragon is in very good condition overall. There is a slight wobble and lean to the big dragon and it looks like it might have been glued back into place but we cannot be sure. We have taken a photo from the side where it looks like glue more so than the other dragon feet. Both feet that hold the dragon in place look this way so if it was repaired it is a good almost unnoticeable job. While we do our best to accurately describe all items and conditions, we are not perfect, and sometimes condition can be a subjective thing. We always try to err on the conservative side when it comes to grading condition. Your total satisfaction is our goal! The free listing tool.
