DESCRIPTION: Oriental Hand Carved RED Jade Ornate Japanese Lantern and Pillar Candle Holder with Inlaid Bronze Oriental Symbols. Bronze bells hang from the collar.
Beautiful hand carved Red Jade Stone Japanese Lantern. Very ornate with exquisite detailed craftsmanship from a master carver. Inlaid bronze Oriental symbols.
A perfect accent piece to add to your collection for your home or office! This lantern makes a statement of quality, unique and very rare. Museum quality! The jade is not jadeite or "A" jade found in jewelry. It may have some color enhancement but when I tested it, the color did not remove. Portions of the carving has a creamy translucent appearance.
CONDITION: Excellent condition! Unknown age.
MEASUREMENTS: About 26" H x 9.5" D.
CARE: It is important to care for your jade carvings by wiping them down with a beeswax on a regular basis. I also recommend that you keep a small glass of water in your curio cabinets where you display your carvings to add moisture to the air. Do not display in a harsh sunlight.
