Carved circa 1960, this giltwood panel features an eagle with spread wings flanked by guardian lions and birds among foliage, finished in deep red lacquer with gilded surfaces that retain a warm, aged patina. Mounted on a solid wood backplate with a 2cm floating gap, the openwork carving casts delicate, shifting shadows as daylight moves across the room — a quiet drama that changes hour by hour. Equally at home above a fireplace mantel, over a console table in an entryway, in a vintage study, or as a focal point above a dining sideboard.

Backplate dimensions: 60 cm W × 30 cm H
Carved component: approximately 51 × 22 cm, mounted with a 2 cm floating gap
Pre-installed hanging hardware is included; the piece arrives ready to mount.
