Description:
Chinese seal for sealing, in gilded bronze, in one piece, with a Lion Foo doing the functions of small handle or handle. This type of seal belongs to the period corresponding to the Qing Dynasty, which remained from the year 1644 until the year 1911, so we think, it could even be from a time before the nineteenth century.
The artistic quality and execution are very good, with a magnificent result of mini sculpture, at the height of the Austrian bronzes. It has a great detail, taking care of each and every one of its aspects. The bronze of the bronze is made by a technique that has preserved it perfectly over time. The patina that has the Seal is very interesting, since, over time, the gold has taken on a very attractive and high quality look. At the base is the stamp itself, with four signs of Chinese writing, framed in a rim. It is quite rare to find it so well preserved. This type of seal has been elaborated since ancient times, until now as a souvenir, and with the most diverse materials. Very interesting as a collector"s item and decorative element. Spectacular in an illuminated niche.

Comments:

The seal presents the wear and tear of its time, as well as some stains. It has small flaws. The information provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
