About the Item
The experience of art itself can be an intimate one, and this bed canopy, hand-painted over 100 years ago by an artist in Canton, was more intimate than most. Delicately painted pheasants and tree peonies come to life as symbols of prosperity and good fortune. Surrounded by complementary paintings, the painted panel created a bed enclosure, a style popular in southern China at the turn of the century.
