Vintage Chinese black lacquer wall plaque featuring a finely inlaid scene of a woman holding a lantern, a traditional motif symbolizing light, grace, and guidance. The piece is carved from wood and intricately detailed with inlaid materials such as shell and colored stone, giving the image both texture and dimension. The plaque’s unique peach-shaped form carries additional meaning in Chinese art, representing longevity, immortality, and good fortune.
This type of decorative lacquerwork became popular during the mid-20th century and often depicted scenes of daily life, gardens, or mythological figures rendered in rich contrast against a deep black lacquer background. The delicate craftsmanship and balance of color reflect the artistry and symbolism central to traditional Chinese decorative arts.
At the base of the plaque, an inscribed dedication or poetic text adds a personal touch, suggesting it may have been created as a commemorative or gifted piece. A striking example of vintage Chinese craftsmanship, this wall plaque brings cultural depth and timeless beauty to both modern and traditional interiors.
