Subject:Is it a real Qianlong zitan ink stone box?
Posted By: Minh Thuc Tue, Oct 29, 2024 IP: 116.98.249.129
Hello,
I have bought a zitan ink stone box. The inscriptions indicate that it was made in 1750, with the hand writings of the Emperor Qianlong. The simple style of the box seems to highlight the writings. Can anyone tell me about the authenticity of the box?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Vincent Thuc

no, the font of the characters that have been carved into the lid are modern/contemporary

Thank you, Rat, for your comment. The wood looks really old.
