Lot Essay

The horse is an auspicous animal and has a long history as a symbol of power, energy and prestige in China. The present lot may be compared with a pair of jadeite horses gifted as a wedding present to the late H.R.H. Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, by the Government and People of Hong Kong and sold at Christie's London, 14 June 2006, lot 464. See also, a slightly larger pair of jadeite horses acquired from Bulgari, Rome, sold at Christie's London on 19 March 2020, lot 127.
