Lot Description

A Chinese Filigree Hair Ornament, Qing Dynasty
清 累絲鈿子
Qing Dynasty

Impressively elaborate and multi-layered, the piece is crowned by two phoenixes facing each other at the very top. Beneath them unfolds a complex composition: floral motifs surround a central basket from which a spiral garland rises. The entire arrangement is intricate and partially articulated, composed of overlapping, movable layers. On the reverse, a delicate framework of floral forms is enclosed within an oval border, adding to the piece’s depth and refinement.
Length 4 in., 10.2 cm.

This lot is located in Chicago.
