A fine and rare mid 18th Century Chinese Spinach green Jade Carved marriage bowl in quatrilobe form.
The everted rim, above low relief carving to the exterior of peony flowers with chrysanthemum carved handles, the leaves resting on the bowl, their bodies suspending loose ring handles.
Qianlong period 1736 – 1795
Remarkable workmanship. Perfect original condition.
We recently restored this 19th century Italian terracotta amphora.
They rest on the 31st floor and a freak wind gust broke one into pieces.
Here’s a few after and during photos of our work.
The first photos were taken once back in place.
Restoring is certainly our bread and butter when it comes to business income.
Seeing the smile on a customers face when delivering a finished piece can be more rewarding than the payment…
BTW, the views from this outstanding building are the best I’ve seen in Melbourne.
Napoleon III in neo-Greek style, the central panel having animated characters enjoying the pleasures of life.
Supported by palm leaves, terminating on lion paw feet.
