Rare Massive Jadeite Table Screen, Qing Dynasty



We are offering an extremely rare antique jadeite carving with fine carving and impressive size. The large and thick rectangular slab of jadeite was carved on one side in deep relief with two cranes flying among a large pine tree, a bamboo grove and clouds. The other side is similarly carved with a large pine tree and bamboo with two cranes holding ribbon-tied coins in their beaks. The jadeite stone is of fine semi-transparent white ground with extensive apple green and red inclusions. Other than a few polished rim and surface chips, this jadeite plaque is in excellent condition. The jadeite surface has developed a mellow age patina only found on old jadeite items. In order to illustrate the massive size of this fine jadeite carving, we photographed it alongside with a lady's watch (not included in this sale) for your reference.


The bold design and elegant carving of its decoration set this jadeite table screen apart from those gaudy jade carvings commonly seen on the market. This large jadeite table screen exemplifies Chinese scholarly taste with a sumptuous material only affordable by the Imperial household or rich merchants during the late Qing Dynasty. Large antique jadeite carving of literati's style are extremely rare and hardly ever surface on open market. This is an once in a lifetime opportunity for serious collectors of Chinese jadeite items. Size: width: 24cm, height: 17cm; thickness: 1.6cm
