About the Item

Pair of Chinese Export Carved Jade and Brass Bookends, Republic Period, circa 1920s Description: A finely crafted pair of Chinese export bookends featuring pierced and carved jade (or hardstone) plaques mounted in brass frames, dating to the early 20th century, likely during the Republic Period (circa 1912–1940). Each bookend measures 7 inches high x 4.25 inches wide x 4 inches deep, with the oval plaques themselves approximately 4.5 inches high x 3.5 inches wide. The translucent stone—likely nephrite jade or a pale green hardstone—is intricately pierced with traditional Chinese foliate and floral motifs, possibly including chrysanthemum or peony forms, symbolizing beauty, renewal, and scholarly refinement. The plaques are set within oval brass bezels and supported by stylized openwork brass stands with a stepped Art Deco–influenced base. The cutout pattern in the brass foot mimics traditional Chinese lattice windows and provides visual lightness and stability. The reverse of each base is stamped “CHINA,” consistent with export requirements from the early 20th century for goods entering the U.S. under the McKinley Tariff Act. This pair is both decorative and functional—representing the intersection of East Asian artistic tradition and Western utility. They are ideal for collectors of scholars' objects, chinoiserie, or early 20th-century export furnishings. Condition: Excellent vintage condition with minor wear and oxidation to brass surfaces. The jade panels show natural inclusions and light surface age but remain intact and structurally sound. Dimensions (Each): • Overall: 7” H x 4.25” W x 4” D • Jade Panel: 4.5” H x 3.5” W Attribution: China, Republic Period (early 20th century), marked
