Lot details

China. Finely carved to one side with a scholar and his boy attendant walking along the mountain toward a neatly incised waterfall, and to the other with an attendant playing the qin near a pavilion above a group of scholars near a stream, one kneeling and holding a bucket, his attendant standing behind him carrying a large stick, the other two standing in front of a small cascade, all set in a monumental mountainous landscape with several beautifully carved pine trees. The translucent stone is of a pale celadon tone with distinct russet veining and patches, as well as scattered cloudy inclusions.

Provenance: From a Swiss private collection.
Condition: Superb condition with minor old wear, possibly microscopic nicks, the stone with natural inclusions and fissures. The matching wood base with old age cracks, minor nicks and losses, and fine naturally grown patina overall.

Weight: 877.3 g (incl. base), 804.2 g (excl. base)
Dimensions: Height 18.9 cm (incl. base), 16.4 cm (excl. base)

With a matching wood base of the same period, finely carved with craggy rockwork, pine, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. (2)

Expert note: The present jade mountain is carved all around to show a continuous scene, with the waterfall on one side of the mountain and the cascade on the other stemming from the same source. Such jade mountains with no preferred side are extremely rare.
