19th C Chinese Canton Carved Natural Sandalwood Frame stock #JHframe
Incredible circa 1870s Cantonese export finely carved natural (no finish applied) sandalwood three place photo frame. This frame has the best fine carvings in minute detail of any Canton worked frame we have ever seen. It has adult and young Kylin animals along with figures, including a friar, in a central medallion, the finest carved pillars separating each lower photo area. There is so much over the top fine workmanship that is really hard to describe, and I am actually trying not to overstate it. It is almost unbelievable the time that would have gone into carving so much detail. Frame measures 13" High x 9" Wide x 1 thick and is a wall mount.
