Lot 373
Magnificent Carved Jade Dragon Boat. Acquired from the Regis Galerie at the Venetian in Las Vegas in 1999, comes this magnificent carved dragon boat of the highest quality, spinach green jade. The ship is designed with two masts and four multi-leveled pagodas atop the ship's deck. The boat is decorated with mounted loose rings along both sides of the ship and carved in both high and low relief, polished to a high gloss. Included is a carved rosewood base that appears to be waves on the rolling sea. The writing on the sails are words of good fortune coming to business and family. It appears one small spire is missing and a small lantern has detached but otherwise a stunning piece sure to prove a centerpiece in any decor. Ship measures an impressive 47" x 43" x 10", carved base measures 9½" x 32" x 12". On base, ship impresses at 52" in height. Comes with COA from Regis Galerie with an appraised value near six figures.
