Description

Impressively sized, this flower tree model is crafted from a variety of hardstones and rests in a cloisonné enamel planter. Its exceptional quality exemplifies the artistry of 20th century Chinese craftsmen.

The model features several types of flowers, including chrysanthemums skilfully carved from orange agate. Other agate varieties are used to depict smaller flowers, while quartz is employed for the tiniest specimens. Yellow and orange beads serve as stigmas, adding a vibrant pop of colour to each blossom. Large, deep green nephrite leaves are expertly carved and placed between the orange flowers, while more delicate leaves are crafted from light green hardstone. Metal branches provide support to the entire composition.

The tree is supported by a cloisonné enamel planter, adorned with intricate floral and swirling patterns. The contrasting shades of green and yellow stand out beautifully against the darker blue background. The planter’s rim and base are gilt, adding an extra layer of luxury to the overall piece.

This striking flower tree model, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, makes a highly desirable addition to any collection.
