Superb Chinese Carved Hardstone and Cloisonne Model of a Potted Peony Tree

This beautiful and vibrant finely carved and crafted hard stone study of a flowering peony presented in a large decorative pot was produced in China circa 1900. The pot is made of finely wired and enamelled cloisonne. It has a gilt rim and feet and the front and back have a central oval panel decorated with a pine tree and foliage. The sides and top edge have a finely detailed continuous cloud pattern in turquoise enamel. The tree has a gnarly trunk well modelled in papier mache with wired and silk woven branches individually mounted with finely carved dark jade leaves and vibrant hardstone flowers produced in agate, rock Chrystal, pale jade and pink rose quartz. This superb and highly detailed piece is exquisitely carved to a much higher standard than other decorative examples I have seen. Each leaf is a differing three dimensional shape enhanced with carved natural veins altogether this beautiful object has a jewel like quality which is very pleasing.

After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
