Features: Antique carving refers to exquisite carved art pieces made from materials such as jade, bamboo, wood, ivory, horn, stone, and metal, specifically intended for viewing and appreciation. Antique carving can be summarized into two functions: one is self-entertainment, catering to the unique interests and desires of the artist. The other is for decorative purposes, using intricate craftsmanship to fulfill inner needs. Carving is both a visual and tactile art; unlike painting, which is purely a visual art, carving in China is extremely common, and Chinese antique carving art has always achieved remarkable accomplishments.
