Early 19c Chinese Scholar’s Rosewood Double Dragon Brush Rest stock #JHroseBrRest
SOLD
Early 19c Chinese scholar’s carved rosewood double dragon brush rest. The dragons have wonderful facial features with turned up snouts. There is a round knob on the top between the two facing dragons to turn it easily. The bodies, feet and curling tails are wonderful. Workmanship and quality is superb, showing early original patina to the surfaces. The color is a rich reddish brown with all the shiny areas right where they should be from handling. We can always find double dragon brush rests in hardstone, jade, bronze and other types, but I truly believe this rosewood piece is very rare. Length 7' x Height 2" x Depth 1-3/4" |
