EMPEROR & EMPRESS Antique Chinese Ivory Figures $1 No Reserve! You are bidding on a superb pair of Old Estate Ivory Chinese Figurines in the forms of an Emperor and Empress seated on Dragon and Phoenix Thrones. Each piece is fully signed by their master artist. These important antique pieces show stunning detail and an absolute master hand. The figures were purchased at a multimillion dollar decorative arts and antique gallery auction. Only the finest of items were offered at this important sale. I do not know the exact age of these pieces but based on the other items in the collection and the patina of the ivory, I believe them to be late 1800's to early 1900's. I do not read Chinese and the signatures may give exact age, it is possible they are much earlier. The figures stand about 5 3/8" tall without stands. The stands are about 1 1/4" tall and may be later than the figures. The statues simply rest on the stands, are not attached. I have inspected the statues very closely and have found no nicks or repairs. (Due to the extremely complex carving, I can't guarantee that t is not a tiny nick somew, I personally have found none.) The pieces have a very desireable antique patina/staining, naturally found as Ivory ages. T are also some age lines as you would want to see as evidence of antique Ivory. I realize these pieces are extremely valuable, but I trust my bidders to settle on a fair price. Thus...$1 with absolutely NO RESERVE! GOOD LUCK! Please see my other stunning rare antique Japanese figural group also on Ebay @ $1 NR! Please bid with the utmost confidence!!! I am a seller in North Carolina, USA with well over 1,000 feedbacks and more than 99% satisfaction rating. I will stand behind every item I sell!!! Shipping:
