A decorative set of three hand-carved Chinese scholar figures, each finely painted and bearing an identical mark on the underside. The figures display classic attributes of East Asian wisdom figures: long beards, robes, staffs, and scrolls.
The red, green, and black paintwork, along with the floral patterns, is typical of mid-20th-century Chinese workshop pieces, often produced for export to Europe. Each figure is individually crafted, yet all three clearly belong to the same set.

A charming collector's set for lovers of Asian miniature carving, perfect for display cases, desks or as a decorative trio.
