OBSCURE ORIGINAL ITEMS . *** **** *** . . . A FINE EXAMPLE OF CHINESE FOLK-ART . . . A PAIR OF HAND-MADE SILK-PADDED FIGURES . . . DEPICTING A CHINESE COUPLE IN ELABORATE SILK COSTUME . * The Chinese have been talented in making various kinds of stunning three dimensional doll-like human figures for years. This pair exceeds the norms by rendering a superb pair of early Qing period-style dressed figures. . The woman has a very white-porcelain-face painted on silk. With a beautiful Phoenix decorating her headdress. Her exterior garments are of brocade silk, with flowers pasted on and flowing various colored silk inner garments and black-accented inner edge with a red accent outer garment & matching red-sleeve ends. . In her left hand she holds either a hat or a basket, it unclear. . The man is the typical literati-scholar type, with long beard, double chignons, red-brocade outer silk robe, inner white and gray-brocade gowns and painted shoes. In his right hand he holds a fan and in his left a white painted cloth looking like a fly swatter horse tail. He wears a long beard, goatee and chin whiskers. . The pair are expertly executed by a skilled creator, realistic in all aspects. . Each is separately glazed, matted and framed in simple brown wood. . *** CONDITION: The figures and their clothing are in excellent condition, without damage nor stains. There is a single small brown mat stain or two on the lower edge of each, this does not detract from the overall fine examples. . There is a tiny bit of wear in two places in the cloth, on the man's example, however they are barely noticeable: one just below the chin in the pink cloth, and on the lower side of his girdle, are two tiny holes or wear spots. There are not worm or other holes or distractions whatsoever. . All in all a far and above average of a RARE example seldom found on the market these days. . At our option we will ship this pair without the glass to protect the figures from damage. . *** Color photo are posted to our website.
