Reference: ZF0586A
Oriental card holder. Ivory. 19th century. Rectangular card holder with an opening on one of the smaller sides, made of ivory and decorated with bas-reliefs on both sides. A scene with characters set in a garden with pavilions (of clear Chinese influence) is framed within two mixed-linear areas, the largest located on the body of the piece and the smallest on the lid; note the similarity of the decoration on both sides. It is also necessary to compare this work with works from Canton made for export to the West in the 19th century.
