A Fine Chinese Carved Soapstone Continuous Landscape of Unusually Large Proportions

This superb and beautiful richly coloured Chinese stone carving is of exceptional size and has wonderful three-dimensional detail, all of which have been carved from a single piece of stone.

The raised base is in the form of root carving and the feet are formed with several large roots connected with a frieze of small detailed roots.

This stand is produced in a rich chestnut brown stone, cleverly cut across a dark solid vein.

The upper section has been carved in the predominately green stone with several inclusions of the lower brown. This detail would have needed planning and great perception from the artist carver.

The upper section is a marvellous large continuous landscape carved with great skill and multiple layers of three dimensional detail which include a range of mountains with wooded areas dotted with pagoda roofed buildings sitting on rocky ledges and a temple spire in the distance. The foreground shows a river or lake with a small boat and three people.

This is the largest example of this type of work I have ever seen and offers a rare opportunity to purchase.

This stunning piece of fabulous late 19th century carved artwork is in excellent original condition.

Chinese, circa 1900

Height 25cm x width 52cm x depth 11cm
