Description

Book-Matched Scholar's Rocks on Wooden Stands
China

This fine decorative pair of Scholar's Rocks was created from consecutive or near-consecutive slabs cut from the same boulder, allowing the natural veining and coloration to mirror one another in harmonious symmetry. The richly patterned stone surfaces evoke abstract landscape imagery, inviting quiet reflection and aesthetic contemplation in the traditional spirit of the Chinese scholar's studio. Presented on custom-carved wooden stands, the pair displays both balance and visual depth, making it equally suited for display in a traditional or contemporary interior. A striking and contemplative natural artwork, celebrating the timeless relationship between geology, artistry, and philosophy in the Chinese decorative tradition.
Single Slab and Base Overall Measurements: 30.00 x 27.50 x 11.50 inches (76.20 x 69.85 x 29.21 cm)

Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern California Collector
