Dear masters and experts,
Is it authentic? Thanks a bunch
Is this yours or something you’re thinking of buying? I ask because the photos are very poor. If it’s yours, I think you’ll need better photos, including the base, to get the best feedback.
If they’ve been taken from an advert, I’d be very cautious. Some sellers deliberately post poor photographs to try and dupe.

Authentic related to what? Did the seller give an age? It looks rather new.

Hello,
The whole composition looks chaotic. Where is the harmony? I can't see it here. And the decorations are of low quality in my opinion - please take a look at the dragon and the phoenix. Maybe it's the angle but I see rather bad proportions. Better photos would help a lot, how about some close-ups and the foot?
All the best.
Adrian

Hi Nicdan, it's something that i consider of buying.
Hi Shinigami, authentic as in genuine, related to the piece in question, as opposed to a repro. are you suggesting that it might be the latter? The seller has not said anything.
Hi Luke, as far as I know they have made these garden seats for quite a while and they are still made today. Apart from what Adrian rightly says about the painting style, this garden seat looks recent because of its perfect condition. If it was say just 100 years old, some of the protruding bumps on it might surely be damaged by now. The pictures are not clear, but I would not buy this one.
Birgit
Luke,
Unless the seller specifically states the age of the garden stool I would be cautious and start with the idea that it is a modern piece unless I could prove otherwise (the photos don't help much as far as attempting to date). This thread has brought up another thought that has been on my mind for some time. If you are purchasing the garden stool and it is early Republic or Guang Xu Period it is going to be expensive. But let's say you are on a budget and buying the stool for decoration and you know it is post Republic or modern and the price is reasonable, you could possibly purchase it. By reasonable, I mean less than $200 as a decorative item, you could compare its price to other modern pieces and it still could possibly be a good buy. For example, lately I have considered buying bronzes from the Qing Period or earlier and can't see paying top prices that they command. Instead, I might be looking at reasonably priced reproductions from 1900-1950 as long as the pieces are well made and are not "New." Your thoughts?
George
Hello, George ,Luke
I agree with you on ‘this George they have been reproducing bronzes to porcelains since ming
period that are of good quality. The garden stool for the right price would be nice pieces to have
Good luck to you John
George,my thoughts. Repops are a great way to get the feel of some Aesthetic style on a budget. The trick and potential for fraud or misrepresentation in resellingis is were every things falls apart. In other words, if your looking for decorative objects only, just go to a decorative furnishings store or your local charity shop.
Ronm,
I agree with your comments. What I am getting at is there are plenty of both Chinese and Japanese works of art done by skilled artists that were continued to be made in the 1910-1949 time frame that are still worthy of collecting and displaying. The trick is to be knowledgeable enough to pick out the quality items from the modern fakes. Those quality items are rarely found in charity shops. For example, my collection of Japanese Landscape scrolls includes Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa Landscapes including well executed Landscapes from 1920s to 1940s.
George
Dear Nic, Shinigami, Adrian, George, John, and Ronm,
Thank you very much for giving your ideas about this piece. I saw the stool in an antique store in my town, and could only took a few (bad) pictures of it. When I go there again I will try to take better pics complete with the foot. Thanks, again.

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
