A CHINESE TIANHUANG STONE LANDSCAPE BOULDER

拍品描述

Crafted from rich honey-orange Tianhuang stone famed among Chinese seal carvers, this natural pebble-shaped mountain ornament features intricate shallow relief landscape carving wrapping its surface. Delicate pines, distant mountain peaks, rustic pavilions and scholarly figures at leisure are rendered with meticulous fluid lines, capturing an idyllic literati retreat scene. The stone bears a smooth, mellow patina formed over long appreciation. It is fitted with a custom carved hardwood stand sculpted into craggy rockwork, forming a complete refined scholar?s desk ornament highly sought by Asian stone art collectors.
