Description

A FINE TANG REVIVAL LIMESTONE FIGURE OF GUANYIN, CIRCA 17TH-18TH CENTURY OR EARLIER

China. Finely carved standing in samabhanga on a circular lotus dais raised on a square plinth, the left hand lowered holding the end of a sash tied around the chest and the right hand raised grasping a pearl. The body is richly adorned with long flowing robes, billowing shawls, beaded necklaces, and armlets falling gracefully along the form. The serene face of Guanyin shows downcast eyes, arched brows centered by a circular urna, and full bow-shaped lips. Her hair is arranged in an elaborate chignon, surmounted by a detailed diadem at the front. The stone is of a dark brown color with rust colored areas and fine veins.

Provenance: The Ghezzi Family Collection, Zurich, Switzerland. The Ghezzi Family has been passionate about jewels and antiques since the 1930s. In the 1940s, Giacomo Ghezzi (1914-1995) opened a jewelry shop in the center of Zurich, and one in St. Moritz. At the same time his wife Philomena ran an antique gallery elsewhere in the city. They both travelled extensively from New York to Tokyo, via Paris, London, Geneva and Hong Kong, hunting for the next treasure to sell. Their son, Fermo Ghezzi (1938-2006), continued in the family’s passion, obtaining his goldsmith’s degree in 1958, and joining the family business together with his wife Sonja. A gemologist and admirer of beautifully crafted period jewels, he acquired over his career some of the finest and noblest jewels, varying from important gemstones to jewels with provenance.
Condition: Good condition with ancient wear, a section of the sashes reattached with minor old fills, and few nicks and chips. Traces of weathering and erosion, soil encrustations. The stone with natural fissures.
