Humerous Japanese Ivory Okimono Group Signed Gyokusui

1900 - 1920
Description

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this magical and most humorous ivory Okimono group , the artist has captured the moment that two boys attempt to trip a man , presumably their father ? with the use of a rope and a stick , as one of the boys lifts the rope the fathers sandal falls to the floor, as a consequence of his obvious instability the other boy has caught him around the head with a long stick , this has caused the man to squint and let out a huge gasp of air !! the carver has very cleverly detailed a full set of the mans teeth as part of his expression of horror, meanwhile the two boys take obvious pleasure from this prank , the detail of the overall group is fabulous, the underside is finished as well as the top as only the Japanese craftsman of the Meiji period could achieve, it bears a lovely signature that reads Gyokusui with a red seal reading Saku .

The condition is stunning !!

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
