Unlike common flat-painted panels, these feature high-relief, three-dimensional carvings made from genuine hand-carved soapstone and authentic jade accents.

Traditional Seasonal Themes:These panels are part of the classic "Four Seasons" motif, representing a transition of the year and bringing symbolic blessings to the home:
Winter: Delicate white plum blossoms representing perseverance.
Spring: A vibrant orange peony, the traditional symbol of honor and prosperity.
Autumn: A golden chrysanthemum, representing longevity and a peaceful life.

Artistic Details:
Each panel is finished in a deep, high-gloss black lacquer that provides a dramatic backdrop for the intricate stone inlays. The scenes are further enriched with hand-painted gold borders featuring traditional geometric patterns and "scholar’s objects" at the base of each vase, symbolizing a cultured and intellectual household.

Specifications:

Made of wood, lacquer, soapstone, and genuine, Jade inlay. Dimensions are 24 inches high x 10 inches wide x 0.075 inches depth. In great condition. One panel does have a slight chip on the surface, but does not detract from the beauty or value of the panel. It is consistent with the age.

Collector’s Note:

Because these feature carved hardstones (Jade and Soapstone) rather than simple bone or mother-of-pearl, they possess a weight and texture that makes them true statement pieces. They are perfectly sized for a gallery wall or to flank a doorway or mirror. See less
