Hello, this item is an intricately carved Chinese ivory floral basket on a carved hardwood stand, most likely dating to the early to mid 20th century. The piece is designed as a handled basket with woven-effect carving to the lower body, an open floral arrangement of lilies, blossoms, leaves, and a bow-form handle above. This type of decorative ivory carving was produced in China for domestic display and export collectors, especially during the late Qing to Republic period and continuing into the mid 20th century. The craftsmanship is detailed and technically skilled, with openwork floral carving, layered depth, and a separate fitted stand with traditional pierced and incised decoration. The subject, color, surface texture, and carving style are consistent with carved ivory rather than resin, although formal material confirmation would require in-person inspection.

The piece appears to be in very good decorative condition, with no major visible losses, breaks, or repairs from the photographs, which is important because openwork ivory floral baskets are fragile and often suffer petal, leaf, or handle damage. The basket has strong visual appeal, but the market for ivory objects is heavily restricted, and value depends greatly on age documentation, local ivory regulations, and whether the piece can legally be sold or transferred in the relevant jurisdiction. Without clear antique documentation or export paperwork, its commercial market is more limited than its craftsmanship would otherwise suggest. Based on the scale, condition, quality of carving, decorative appeal, and current restricted market for carved ivory, the fair market value is $400 to $900 USD.
