Genuine archaic bronze or something else? |
Posted By: Tim Posted Date: Jan 09, 2017 (08:45 AM) |
Message Robert, I appreciate your comments. Warring States does seem to be the latest era that the interlocking dragon design appears, at least as far as I can find. Regarding spray patina.... I'm the photo showing the drill hole you can see the malachite chipped away when the hole was drilled. I did not include photos of the lamp, but I'm certain it is pre-1920. The lamp parts were custom made to the vessel. Did they use spray patina then? I'm having the vessel verified by a metalugist who has extensively researched archaic bronzes as part of his doctoral thesis. I was hoping to see if anyone could produce photos of similar examples that might save me $600, but alas.... Thx! Post a Response |
