Description

Crafted in 20th-century China, this flower model is an exceptional piece of home décor.

The floral arrangement is elegantly supported by a cloisonné enamel planter. Predominantly featuring green enamel, its surface is adorned with red and blue floral motifs alongside gold metal patterns resembling clouds. The upper and lower bands, as well as the shaped feet, are gilt, adding a luxurious and refined touch to the piece.

Extending from the planter is a thread-covered metal branch, adorned with intricately carved flower petals made from various types of agate and quartz. Polychrome beads serve as the stigmas, creating delicate accents. The vibrant orange, yellow, and pink flowers stand out beautifully against the darker green nephrite leaves, which provide a striking contrast.

Each material used in this piece holds significant symbolic meaning. Agate is associated with harmony and balance, nephrite represents good fortune, and rose quartz symbolizes unconditional love.

Exquisitely crafted and imbued with profound symbolism, this Chinese flower model makes a meaningful addition to any collection, particularly for those with an appreciation for the spiritual qualities of healing crystals.
