KOREA. Solid Longevity Chatelaine, ca. 19th Century. VERY FINE.

100 x 165 mm; 229.9 gms. Hartill-1000 ("Extremely Rare"). Large longevity symbol flanked by four clouds and eight mythical beasts; Reverse: Octagonal emblem reading, "Juk Gum Bi Bo il Ye Yo Up" ( To amass a fortune is not treasure, only the arts can be handed down ), surrounded by five bats. Two hangers and fourteen bronze rings for attaching pendants are still present. Minor verdigris or deposits evident in the recesses along with much of the original red and green paint. Overall pleasing bronze hue. The previous one we offered (SBP HK August 2018, lot 62123) lacked the hangers and bronze rings and all the paint was gone.
