Pair of Chinese Qing Dynasty Carved Bamboo Brush Pots
This fine pair of Chinese brush pots dates to the Qing dynasty of the 19th century and exemplifies the refined artistry of traditional bamboo carving. Crafted from mature bamboo, each brush pot is skillfully hand-carved with intricate decorative scenes, demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The carved designs feature traditional Chinese motifs, rendered in relief to create depth and visual interest, while the natural grain and warm patina of the bamboo enhance their character and authenticity. Brush pots such as these were essential objects for the scholar’s desk, used to hold calligraphy brushes and symbolising learning, culture, and refinement.
Well balanced and harmonious as a pair, these brush pots are both functional and highly decorative. They would make an excellent addition to a collection of Chinese scholar’s objects, Qing dynasty works of art, or serve as elegant decorative pieces with strong historical and cultural appeal.
Two Very nicely carved with a Chinese scene with nice copper applied mounts
Condition : Both brush pots have age related cracking to them and the have old copper repairs ( That I think makes them stand out ) SEE PHOTOS
Height : 31cm
This is a charming antique artist's brush pot, with strong Oriental iconography skillfully carved into a stout piece of bamboo.
