A CHINESE HETIAN JASPER TABLE SCREEN

拍品描述

Weighing 1910 grams, this refined table screen measures 31 cm in length, 15 cm in width and 35 cm in height. Deep polished hardwood constructs the sturdy stand and outer frame, detailed with neatly carved ruyi-shaped motifs along the lower apron and scrolling open trim at the base, while geometric patterns accentuate the upright supports. The central recess holds a vivid Hetian jasper panel elaborately pierced with interwoven floral and foliate openwork that showcases the gemstone's saturated lush tone. Meticulous joinery complements delicate jade carving throughout. Merging superior woodworking and intricate jade craftsmanship, this elegant desk ornament constitutes a sophisticated highlight for distinguished collections of traditional Chinese inset table screens.
