This unique arched panel, crafted from beech wood and featuring intricate geometric designs, dates back to circa 1850 in Anhui, China. Originally part of a four-poster marriage bed, this panel stands alone today, functioning as a headboard, frame for a television, or simply as a marvelous accent piece. Pieces of individually beaded, joined, and mitered wood form the top panel, marked by carved relief panels displaying characters or stories from Chinese literature and lore.
The base of each side of the panel features a distinctive round frame that is carved in deep relief, displaying multiple levels so as to create a 3D effect. These carvings depict battle scenes with characters riding horses, walking, in boats wielding spears and swords, engaged in combat. Each frame is set upon a red background, which has now aged to a softer, muted shade that harmonizes with the overall piece. These carvings have been meticulously crafted with tremendous effort, time and skill. This rare, distinct piece offers versatile architectural elements and a visually-striking focal point for interesting interior design.
