Set of 3 Antique Natural Elephant Ivory Netsuke – Signed, Japan
20th Century · Hand-carved Japanese Ivory, Signed
A charming trio of signed Japanese netsuke, each hand-carved from warm Angel Skin ivory with the precision and wit that made these miniature sculptures so beloved. Originally crafted as functional toggles for a gentleman’s sash, netsuke became prized collectors’ objects in their own right — and this matched set of three, each bearing its maker’s signature, is a wonderful entry point or addition to a serious collection. Displayed together, they form a captivating tableau of Japanese craftsmanship in the palm of the hand.
These are authentic, original antique pieces, hand-carved from real natural elephant ivory.
