A GOLD-BEAD INLAID AGARWOOD ROSARY BRACELET    清乾隆 迦楠嵌金珠壽字十八籽手串


  • Dimension: Bead diameter: 3/4 in (1.9 cm)
  • Estimate From: $3800
  • Estimate To: $5800

Composed of twenty well-polished rounded agarwood beads, each finely inlaid with tiny gold beads with stylized Shou character and roundels, one of them joined by a decorated strand composed of a agarwood shou character roundel, further suspended with two smaller drop-shaped agarwood, all inlaid with tiny gold beads. Qing Dynasty Qianlong period.


此手串由迦楠打磨成形後,雕出“壽”字圖樣,再鑲以用炸珠法製成的小金珠,沉香質地堅硬,金珠小如粟米,製作起來十分費工。手串做工精細,珠粒渾圓飽滿,大小均勻無差,佛頭塔和墜子上亦嵌金珠,用料上乘,非宮廷製器而不可為,珍罕非常。
