BIDDERS: This quality ivory is offered buy now or best offer,please feel free to submit your best offer,you may get lucky! It is here to sell !

Size approx  7.5 x 3 x 2 cms

This is without a doubt the finest Chinese ivory i have had the pleasure of owning in a long while,suprisingly it is still in mint condition with no loss or repair anywhere,the signature seal is superb also,i love the way that quality chinese ivories such as this have a chunky monogram engraved and inked,the carving depicts a bear hunting a crab which is trying to escape into some rocks,it is what i call a book piece as you would normally only have the pleasure of seeing such a fine piece of art in one,for those of you who love this i have a similar one on auction which was obtained along with this in the same collection,the other ivory is of 2 bear cubs,but is not signed.  Although £285 is a lot of money to most people (unless you are a millionaire!) chinese ivories such as this are increasingly hard to source which inevitably pushes the price up,this being said however £285 for a chinese ivory in as good a condition as this is actually very cheap,if i put this on auction i would expect it to fetch this and possibly more,and as mentioned at the top of the page,this is buy now or best offer and it is here to sell so feel free to submit your best offer, so if you want to pay even less submit your offer,you may get lucky!.
