Description
A very fine intact set of twelve carved netsuke representing the zodiac. Each artist signed example with inlaid eyes is very finely carved and displays very nice patina.
This collection is displayed in a small divided case with interesting labels and written information from Josephine Bird Hall, a lifelong collector of Asian and other antiques who lived in Kansas City, Missouri from 1888 to 1948.
Sizes range from 0.75 x 1.25 x 1.5 to 1.5 x 1 x 0.75 inches.
Provenance: The collection of Josephine Bird Hall (1888 - 1948) by descent to her son, the present owner. Josephine's father was a founder of Kansas City's Emery, Bird, Thayer Department Store.
AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.
Be aware that internet sales tax applies to all Internet transactions and local sales tax may apply to local pick-up transactions.
We happily provide seamless in-house packing and shipping services on nearly everything we sell.
Until further notice, we cannot offer international shipping in-house.
