A NATURAL ‘SCHOLAR ROCK’ HARDWOOD SCULPTURE, QING DYNASTY
清代天然硬木“供石”
Sold for €4,045
including Buyer's Premium
China, 18th to 19th century. This abstract sculpture of grayish-brown, natural Koompassia Excelsa wood, carved to the form of a high crested wave or rock, was made for contemplation in a scholar’s studio. The wood has natural grooves and channels running along its length with irregular openings. The contours of the piece are both angular and rounded. The grain is tightly bound, twisting and flowing in a turbulent current.
Provenance: From a private collection in Dallas, Texas, USA.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear. Fine naturally grown patina overall, with a smooth and unctuous feel to the surface.
Weight: 2,405 g (incl. stand) and 1,926 g (excl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 45 cm (incl. stand) and 41.8 cm (excl. stand)
With a finely lacquered and fitted Japanese wood stand, probably of the period. (2)
Koompassia Excelsa is an emergent tropical rainforest tree species found in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. It is one of the tallest tropical tree species.
Value comparison: Compare a closely related scholar’s rock hardwood sculpture from the same wood, dated to the 19th century, but lacquered and of larger size (72 cm high), offered by A&J Speelman, London, for GBP 18,000.
