About the Item
Early 20th Century natural Chinese scholar rock or stone on custom wood base. Scholar rocks, also known as viewing stones or 'gongshi', are natural stones that have been appreciated in Chinese culture for centuries for their aesthetic qualities. They are often chosen for their resemblance to natural landscapes, animals, or human figures, and are displayed on custom-made stands that enhance their beauty. These stones are not carved or altered by human
hands, but rather shaped by natural forces like wind and water
over long periods.
These stones were particularly popular among scholars and
literati during the Song Dynasty and have remained a significant element of Chinese art and garden design. The appreciation of scholar rocks reflects a deep connection with nature and a philosophical pursuit of harmony and balance. This is a great piece in very good condition shown in the photos and video.
