Chinese Gilt Carved Bed Panel, c. 1900

About the Item

This gilt carved panel began its life as a decorative addition to a 19th-century Chinese cabinet or canopy bed. Set within a mica-encrusted rectangular frame, the carving depicts a battle between several armor-clad warriors, likely a scene from Chinese mythology or classical literature. The lively scene is carved in high relief and backed by a panel of geometric fretwork. Elevated by a custom steel mount, this carved panel lives on as a storied tabletop sculpture. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

  • Chinese Bamboo Pomegranate Teapot, c. 1900
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Tea drinking has been an integral part of Chinese culture for centuries, resulting in a wide range of social customs and material traditions. In addition to tea leaves, water, and heat, the art of drinking tea (chayi) calls for a variety of teaware and utensils - both practical and decorative. This charming teapot dates to the late Qing dynasty and is hand-carved from a hollow length of bamboo in the shape of a ripe pomegranate. The handle is carved to resemble a thin branch, which forks to either side of the teapot bearing long, slender leaves. The teapot has a squat, rounded form and a dark brown finish, reminiscent of Yixing red clay teapots...
