Art Noveau Nude the best of the best (8798)
Mint original condition from 1890 to 1910. Collar is 14K gold and shaft is mint full bark malacca with horn ferrule. Notice the even yellow collar you can't get this collar any other way but waiting a 100 years. Tea stain or any other finish can't do this. Also look at the graining, you can tell its ivory even in the picture. If you want to know for sure if a piece is old use this as your bench mark. Look at the womans face, its so pure, the chinese when they carve their reproductions today have a comic quality. It's not easy to put a face like this in ivory, and took a master carver. Its the best of the best. Provenance the Allen and Susan Pall collection.
