Antique Chinese Seal. Hard Wood, Qing Dynasty
Antique Chinese hard-wood seal with very decorative carving of the actual seal print.
It seems to be a company seal. What makes it special is the carving of the border, which depicts the Eight immortals, delicately carved with strong expressions.
The seal is from the 18th century. At one side is a wax seal attached, which was needed to bring the seal out of China. It was bought in the early 1970s in Tianjin.
Size: 0,8 x 1,7 x 2,1 inches, 40 gram, fine condition.
