Stupendous vintage wooden articulated Chinese dragon.
Stupendous wooden articulated Chinese dragon.
I really don't know where to start!
Hand carved throughout, finished with the most glorious of hand painted detail.
Articulated movement having been ingeniously made encompassing a chain for flex and rigidity.
He has a space beneath the neck that allows for his head to be mounted allowing the tail to trail. Clever clever!
But; for me; he's all about the aesthetic; the colour and patination, the richness and depth of tone is just breathtaking.
Absolutely unique.
There are few very small losses to the tail but nothing noteworthy and certainly not anything that detracts from his splendor!
Approx. Max Dims: Head: H: 150mm L: 300mm. Tail (from the neck) 1000mm. Tip to Toe: 1200mm
Sourced by myself; personally; from the Loire Valley area of France.
