Antique Chinese jadeite s***f bottle, circa 1900 — a quietly extraordinary object from the late Qing dynasty, carved from a single piece of natural mottled jadeite in soft tones of light green and white. The flat, ovoid form is a classic silhouette, and the stone's natural cloudlike patterning shifts beautifully as the light moves across it. In Qing China, s***f bottles like this were among the most coveted objects a scholar or official could carry — collected with the same reverence afforded fine paintings and bronzes. This example retains its original stopper and presents beautifully as both a serious collector's piece and a refined decorative object. Full details on our website.

"A Story Worth Owning"

✨ Some pieces don't just fill a wall — they start a conversation.

This is an original oil painting by French artist Irène Kalebdjian (1910–2006) — a quiet street scene of two nuns leading a line of schoolchildren by hand, rendered in soft, textured brushwork and a warm, muted palette.

Kalebdjian trained at the Académie Julian under Fernand Sabatté and twice won the second prize of Rome (1930, 1935), along with the Prix Marie-Bashkirtseff in 1934 — a rare pedigree for a piece at this price point.

Whether you're building a collection or looking for something with real presence for a reading nook, hallway, or gallery wall — this is the kind of find that gets better the more you learn about it.
