2 ANTIQUE EARLY 1800s CHINESE TEAK & JADE DESK DISPLAYS

This auction is for a two most unusual and intersting Chinese antiques.  Circa early 1800's, these are is a teak stands upon which are placed large pieces of intricately carved jade, one of which is a plum blossom (the Chinese national flower).
These were originally intended as a desk ornament.  Note: the jade is being held in place in by a red and white removeable gum which you see in the pictures. 
The large piece stands 4.5 inches high with the jade piece measuring about 2.75 by 2.75 inches.  The smaller piece stands 2.75 inches high with the jade piece approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.
 Exquisitely made pieces.
 
I do have many other Chinese and Japanese items for sale:  vintage, antique and ancient.  I am selling these for an elderly Chinese gentleman who was a renown collector and purveyer of Chinese works for many years in New York City and has recently retired.  The pieces are all guaranteed as described (and in some cases where provenance was unclear, we erred on the side of caution.)
