Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner. All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company. Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Description
This highly decorative Chinese hand carved solid wood and gesso figure which is raised on a moulded plinth, depicts a Chinese nobleman. He has a book in one hand and a page turning implement in the other. The man is sitting on an ornate dragon backed throne chair whilst his feet rest on a tiger skin rug. He is wearing the most elaborate armour with a decorative robe, headdress and boots. His face and hands are painted in a bold red colour with fine black detailing. He also has facial whiskers inlaid in horse hair. The figure has been very well carved out of a solid block of dense hardwood with some detailed elements applied and detailed in gesso, all of which has been hand finished in smooth lacquer in polychrome colours with some elements enhanced with gilding. This highly decorative figure is in excellent original condition with some very minor age related losses to the detailing and finish. Chinese, circa 1920
