Illustrated catalogue of an extraordinary collection of imperial jades and other beautiful objects in rock crystal, agate, lapis-lazuli and coral : mostly from the private collection of the late Captain J.F. Peel, London, England
A 1912 auction catalogue published in New York by the American Art Association, illustrating imperial jades and carved hardstones such as rock crystal, agate, lapis-lazuli and coral from the London collection of the late Captain J.F. Peel. The four plates show carved objects photographed on carved wooden stands, numbered in the catalogue sequence. A designer might take from them the sculptural forms of carved hardstone vessels, with their sinuous relief and pierced stand details.
