Oriental Sculpture: A pair of rare and impressive life size carved hardstone flowering shrubs Chinese, early 20th century the flowers and buds in rose quartz with jadeite leaves with simulated bark and in lacquered wood hexagonal tubs painted with oriental scenes 221cm.; 87ins high by 175cm.; 69ins wide Carved hardstones including Jade, which is a mineral nephrite, is one of the oldest and most revered art forms in China. During the Qing dynasty from 1644-1911, the combination of an abundant supply of raw material, craftsmanship, and keen imperial patronage produced an extraordinary array of objects. Favourite subjects for hardstone carvings were fruits and vegetables, often functioning as symbols for prosperity, longevity, good fortune, perpetuation of a family’s line, or even academic success. Decorative trees in hardstone, were popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, when both Chinese and Japanese decoration were very much in fashion, both in areas of collecting and interior decoration. The majority of hardstone trees are miniature in scale, and these life size examples are both a tour de force in terms of carving in a wide variety of hardstones and in their monumental scale which marks them as very rare examples indeed.
