Pair of Decorative 19th Century Chinese Pagodas carved in Soapstone.

- These are not an exact match as the bird on the parapet is sized differently.
- There will be variances in colour tone due to soap stone carved.

- Some sections come apart and I am unsure wether this is intentional especially given the boxes. 
- It can be seen that wooden rods act as a 'spinal link' and each level may have been glued at some point.
- However, some sections are able to be rotated. 



CONDITION

Great condition overall:

- One base has chip as shown.
- One base has a missing fence as shown.
- Several hanging 'bells' are missing. Re postioning some should provide a complete front view. 
- Wires to parapets are in tact (which is not usually often the case!)
- Box has ocassional signs of historic woodworm.

- These are a pair, which is rare within itself, but they are also the most complete examples I have researched or come across. 
- Unprecedented is the inclusion of the original wooden boxes which are secure and fit for purpose, but are rudimentary. 

More photo's available on request.
