DESCRIPTION
Antique late-19th Century Chinese extremely rare solid silver statues set of three immortals, intricately engraved and chased, one holding a ruyi, other a staff and a peach and another a small figure. It is common belief in Chinese culture that placing the three Immortals in a room or a home is believed to be a cure for the Feng Shui. When they are placed in a room, they cleanse the home of negative influences, including arguments, marital problems and illness. This extremely powerful cure is considered a must for anyone looking to strengthen or enhance a relationship with their partner or children. The three figured are not Hallmarked, but makers such as Feng Xiang, active in Tientsin, 1880-1930, are known for making such figures (please see A.
