REDUCED Antique Chinese Carved Ivory Figure, Man with Child

Antiques : Oriental : Ivory : Chinese : Carved Ivory : Man With Child : Father : Son : Man

 

This is part of a pair...please see Item 180 for details. I have always so enjoyed the expressions on these figures. There is paint loss, and I believe there might have originally been an extension of the brush coming from his hand (I believe a small piece representing the top of the brush had been broken at some point before I purchased it. The figure is attached to the base, which is attractively decorated. This is an outstanding piece for the discriminating collector.
