Antique Chinese Apostle Cross Rosewood and Mother of Pearl 18th Century

18th century
Description

This is a fine quality Chinese, possibly Macau, Apostle Cross in solid rosewood beautifully inlaid with expertly cut and engraved mother of pearl which dates from the late 18th century. The cross is painstakingly inlaid with incised and engraved mother of pearl to depict beautiful blossoms and symbols. The finely grained rosewood cross has ruyi shaped ends and the mother of pearl inlay pieces have a lovely iridescent purple-pinkish hue.

The cross is a good size, it measures 36 cms by 26 cms and it is in remarkable condition considering its substantial age, with no losses to the rosewood or mother of pearl.

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

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.
