Vintage Chinese Hand-Carved Netsuke Immortal / Scholar Figurine 2"H

Vintage Chinese Hand-Carved Netsuke-Style Immortal / Scholar Figurine 2"H

Late Republic period Chinese hand-carved miniature figure, c. 1930s–1940s. Finely detailed facial expression and clothing, with subtle hand-applied pigment accents. Although not Japanese and not a functional netsuke, pieces like this are commonly collected and marketed as netsuke-style carvings due to their similar scale, subject themes, and sculptural qualities.

Warm natural patina and age character consistent with early 20th-century craftsmanship. Represents a traditional cultural figure associated with good fortune, wisdom, protection, or prosperity—highly desirable among collectors of Asian miniatures.
