Description
Chinese Hand Carved ELEPHANT IVORY EMPEROR and EMPRESS 18" Tall *Purchased Pre-Ban in 1988* Appraisal is for $9,500.00 They are going on eBay now for up to $48,000! These were purchased by my parents in 1988 at Joneil New York, New York on Fifth Avenue. She has the original receipt also which she is sending to me to include in the auction. My mother has given them to us to sell as they have two pairs and these have been wrapped up in boxes in the attic for years unused. We have a baby on the way and we're cleaning out our house and theirs for items we just don't use or need in order to get prepared for baby! We wanted to go and get these appraised again before selling as I'm somewhat sick about selling them for so little, but I just don't have the time (or the energy!) to do so. So here is an opportunity to get a BEAUTIFUL and VALUABLE collector's piece made from real elephant ivory with tons of detail! They are hand carved with artist markings on the bottom. My mother thinks they are from early 1900's. They have much more detail than anyone of the ones I have seen on the internet. They are also not as yellowed as most I've seen. (they yellow with age) I have tons of pictures and will send more if necessary as i understand it's a hefty price to acquire these. They come with custom rosewood bases - custom as they only fit these at a certain angle as all the bottoms are uniquely different in size. Please email with an questions and check out my other auctions for other collectibles and designer items - my mother is an art collector and i'm a fashion collector! SHIPPING and PACKING IS a flat rate of $25 ****************** PRICE REDUCDED TO SELL****************************************
