Description
This is an antique 150 year old Chinese (c. 1860's) wooden carving with Chinese calligraphy characters as well as floral designs.The carving is deeply, yet intricately carved in
Chinese
yumu
(a type of elm) wood
.
The calligraphy translates: "Six Gods show up and serve the people"(my very rough translation).
This carving was probably once incorporated into a much larger piece of furniture like a wardrobe or bed (see last picture). During the Chinese cultural revolution most of these fabulous carvings were destroyed. Some were saved and warehoused until now. As China attempts to maintain her long cultural heritage, such carvings are no longer being allowed out the country. We have a limited number that we shipped from China 10 years ago. This may be your last chance to own such a piece of China's ancient past.
This carving measures 48" long by 6" wide by 1" thick (122 x 15.5 x 3 cm)
. H
aving been well loved for nearly a century and a half, it remains in
very good
condition.
Please view the enlarged pictures to admire this intricately detailed carving.
