About the Item
Group of four columns with a square base, made of lacquered poplar wood with a marbled effect to emulate porphyry; decorated with pastille carvings, lacquered and illuminated in gold. On the four top corners of each column carved rosettes hold, in the guise of a gall, fluttering ribbons and festoons of leaves, flowers and fruits. On the three exposed sides of each column are medallions depicting putti riding dolphins, just below the festoons. The latter are presented according to two different versions that are very similar to each other: in the first, the putto rests his right hand on top of the animal's head, while with his left hand he holds a wind-blown drapery; in the second, his left hand is intent on governing the dolphin through the use of reins, at the same time that with his right hand he holds an arrow, a typical attribute of the mythological personification of the god Love. Lacquering and gilding of carvings taken up later.

18th Century Pair of Italian Polychrome Coffers18th Century Qing Dynasty Fish Shaped Cricket Holder
Located in
Incline Village, NV
Uniquely fabulous and highly unusual item for those seeking something different; this 18th century "cricket holder" from the Qing Dynasty is in the shape of a fish and is made of hand wrought metal, with nice detail and an open woven body which provided air to the cricket. A sophisticated clasp locking mechanism on the underneath of the fish kept the pet cricket contained in the caged holder. Obviously this was intact when someone at some point in time tried to remove whatever was inside by making a hole at the base of the tail to get it out (see image). This hand held cricket cage holder is in very nice and all original condition, save for the small hole; not fragile in any way; sturdy in structure with no repairs.For over 1000 years the Chinese have used crickets...
