This exquisite Chinese art piece is a high relief carved and gilded wood panel with Mother of Pearl inlay. It depicts Asian characters in a setting within a Chinese dignitary's surroundings, perhaps representing, the immortals of China Back in the 19th century. Crafted with great attention to detail, this antique is made of very old wood and features a stunning gold leaf finish. The intricate carvings on the panel depict scenes of great beauty and elegance, representing the rich cultural heritage of China. This panel is in very good condition and is highly decorative. Some of the inner parts are made up of Mother of Pearl inlay. This is highly unique and I cannot find any others even remotely close to the beauty of this one. The intricacy of this piece is done in impeccable detail.
