FINE OLD ANTIQUE CHINESE CARVED SOAPSTONE RECLINING GUANYIN FIGURE STATUE & STAND
I will be selling a good number of interesting antiques including Tribal art, Chinese and European antiques this week and may be adding more on Friday 26th. PLEASE NOTE: This auction is in GB Pounds Sterling.This is a very attractive antique Chinese carved soapstone figure of Guanyin o...n carved wooden stand. The stone has a good colour and polish and although the head of the figure has been off it still displays extremely well. It is one of several Chinese and other Asian antiques I am selling this week so please view my other sales.It is my policy not to end standard auctions early with a 'buy it now' and at the end of an auction I will not make second chance offers. Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for. Condition & Dimensions
Good overall condition however the head has been off at some stage. A few other slight areas of wear / minor chips etc.It measures about 18.5cms long and just under 11cms tall not including the stand.
Postage & Packing
For your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured. I will be posting from WEDNESDAY 8th MAY so please make payment as early as possible, ideally within 3 working days. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, have a large amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for. My items are located in Belgium but I return to the UK after each set of Ebay sales on business trips and post the majority from the UK. It seems complicated but it makes sense and the Royal Mail and Parcelforce have always worked pretty well for me!Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 7 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (Parcelforce) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.
