The deep, carved relief and dual-metal finish turn every change in light into a quiet visual event — delicate shadows drift across the wall behind, shifting through the day. A striking focal point for an entryway, above a fireplace, or as a visual bridge between rooms.

This is a surviving architectural salvage fragment from a traditional Chinese structure. The panel features a pair of long-tailed pheasants among lush floral foliage, carved in deep relief and finished with traces of both gilding and silver leaf — a rare combination that has aged into a beautifully textured, stable patina over a century. The minor wear and surface variation are not flaws, but the fingerprints of history — a surface that cannot be replicated.

Dimensions: 23.6ʺW × 1.8ʺD × 13.8ʺH. Backplate and mounting hardware are new. Ready to hang with pre-installed hardware.
