C. 1890 - One of the rarest Chinese enameled silver sculptures
portraying a horse drawn carriage with two female passengers. The women have articulately
carved bone
faces and delicate hands with elaborate hand painted details. All the silver parts are hand crafted by master silversmith and decorated with beautiful cloisonne enamel work. Please note that the umbrella has precision attached hanging jade beads. In addition the sterling silver is decorated with polychrome enamel and gleaming precious stones which include; turquoise, carnelian, lapis lazuli, jade, pearls and coral.  The silver and enamel work is intricately detailed and the addition of precious stone only adds to the complexity of this museum quality piece of art. This sculpture is mounted on a elaborately carved wood base. Due to extremely old age there are some minor wood deformation and this base is not perfectly straight anymore. If this is a problem, it can be easy be solved by trimming feet to proper height. The silver sculpture measures 38.5 cm in height (from the top of the umbrella to the top of the wood base) and 51 cm long.  Total weight including wood base is 4082.33 grams.  No maker marks visually found but there is always the possibility that some are hidden. We have tested the silver and it is 100% guaranteed as such. This sculpture is in excellent condition considering its age with only some slight silver discoloration. There are very minor enamel loses and based upon our best knowledge, the fan resting in the persons hand on the left has some silver missing. Untouched and in the original condition that we obtained it in.  Please check detailed pictures for item condition and intricacy. Thank you for bidding and good luck.
