A pair of Chinese sculptures in the shape of geese, early 20th Century.

Naturalistically sculptured as geese. Height 77, lenght 53cm.

One with repair to neck. Wear, chips, natural inclusions to the stone.

Provenance

From the collection of Sven Johnsson who funded AB Jonax, in import firm of textile products and gloves. Mr Johnsson first came to China in the 1950’s and made several jouneys to China. He soon started to collect.

Mr Johnsson wrote a diary and describes what happened during the cultural revolution, how businessmen were invited to purchase antiques and works of arts from warehouses where they were gathered by the government in rule. He then decided to expand his business to Chinese porcelain and paintings.

These geese were purchased in 1965 when Mrs Johnsson fell in love with them. They were shipped by boat to Sweden, and have been in the family collection since then. The family says that they are now ready to fly again to their next home.
