Exclusively for the Connoisseur. The "Imperial Gold" Edition.
⚠️ STATUS: UNIQUE 1/1 MASTERPIECE.
At this level ($2,888), we are no longer talking about "walnuts." We are talking about sculptural art that rivals ivory or jade carvings in complexity and value.
This specific pair is the work of a Master Carver (Da Shi), taking over 300 hours of microscopic precision to complete. It represents the ultimate fusion of Wenwan Culture (Play) and Fine Jewelry (Luxury).
Why this masterpiece stands alone:
-
🏆 The "Mixed-Media" Technique (Gold & Gems): Unlike standard carvings, this piece features the ancient technique of "Xiang Qian" (Inlay).
-
The Gold: The coins in the toad's mouth and the auspicious symbols on its back are highlighted with Gold Leaf/Powder application, symbolizing eternal wealth that never tarnishes.
-
The Eyes: Inlaid with vibrant Turquoise and Red Agate, giving the Golden Toads a piercing, lifelike gaze that seems to watch over your fortune.
-
-
🎨 "Skin-on-Skin" Realism: Look closely at the texture. The master has utilized the walnut's natural bumpy ridges to mimic the biological skin of the toad perfectly. It is impossible to tell where nature ends and the knife begins.
-
🧘♂️ A Powerful Feng Shui Anchor: In Feng Shui, the Golden Toad (Jin Chan) is the most potent attractor of wealth. Owning a "Double Toad" pair symbolizes "Wealth rolling in from all directions." Keeping this on your executive desk or in your private safe is a statement of power.
-
💎 Investment Potential: Fine walnut carvings are a diminishing art form. As the patina deepens from a cognac brown to a dark maroon over years of handling, the value of this piece is expected to appreciate, much like a vintage wine or aged tea.
