About the Item
Chinese Pink Rose Quartz Carp Fish Model Sculpture Figure Hardwood Stand
Chinese, 20th Century
Height 14cm, width 15cm, depth 7cm
This carved model of a carp, fashioned from rose quartz and crafted in China during the 20th century, exemplifies the enduring tradition of Chinese hardstone artistry.
For centuries, hardstone carvings have played a significant role in Chinese art, often serving as auspicious objects. The carp holds a particularly important place in Chinese symbolism, representing determination, prosperity, and good fortune. In traditional lore, the carp’s journey upstream and its transformation into a dragon symbolise ambition, resilience, and success. Rose quartz, admired for its soft blush colouring, is associated with harmony, emotional balance, and positive energy, making it a fitting medium for such a meaningful subject.
The fish is sensitively carved in translucent rose quartz, with smooth, flowing lines that highlight the natural luminosity of the stone. The sculpted form conveys movement and vitality, while the gentle pink tones lend a sense of serenity and elegance. The model is displayed on a carved hardwood stand, enhancing its presence as both a sculptural piece and a symbolic object. Please note that the piece has undergone restoration in the past, with areas of repair visible in the accompanying photographs.
As a 20th century example of Chinese hardstone carving, this rose quartz carp offers a compelling blend of craftsmanship, cultural symbolism, and decorative appeal, making it a timeless addition to one’s collection.
