Chinese carved stone laughing Buddha bookends
Photos
Description
Pair of Antique Chinese carved stone laughing Buddha bookends, dating from the late 19th Century or early 20th CenturySuperbly carved, each corpulent Buddha is slightly different, but they both have great character & are very tactful and pleasing to the eye. They are lovely objects in every way, & I have been unable to trace anything of similar quality.
Each Buddha resting on its base is carved from a single piece of stone, which is believed to be jasper rather than soapstone.
The sides of the base are carved with a Greek key design. The back of each upright is engraved with stylised plants. The base is polished smooth.
Postage & packing: Postage within the UK is £12. Please contact us for a quote if you would like these sent overseas.
