ivory plaque Canton carved

A Chinese ivory plaque carved very deeply( almost three layers), with the typical Cantonese scenes of figures in pavilions and gardens. It is an unusual and desirable item partly because of the depth of the carving which graduates from 10mm on the upper part of to 15mm on the lower section; the gilding of the back and the thickness of the tusk used ( 25mm at its thickest). Age: C. 1900. size: 8 1/4 inches (21cm). condition: good, some age-related hairline to the flat of the back and edges. We can get CITES Export Licence 2/3 weeks, if necessary.
