A Carved Ivory Parure of the Finest Quality, Miniature Miracles of Workmanship
Circa 1840
Canton
I purchased this ivory parure some 40 years ago and have never seen anything comparable for sheer style, elegance, and quality of execution since. When worn with a white or cream wedding dress the pair of bracelets, necklace, and earrings would be perfect when set off with a tiara. This parure was a special order carved from drawings supplied, probably from France, and made in Canton by Chinese workman circa 1840, every panel is an astonishing masterpiece in miniature of the carvers art.
The bracelets are small at seven inches a link could be taken out or the dress made with a sleeve.
