Chinese Floral Longevity Bed Canopy Painting, c. 1850

c. 1850

About the Item

Thoughts of a long, happy life greeted the young couple who gazed up from their bed on this canopy panel. Adorned with chrysanthemums and peaches, both symbols of longevity, the lyrical motif was carefully painted on wood by an early 20th-century Chinese artist. The muted colors and darkened wood imbue this panel with an expressive character and a sense of history, perfect for hanging as artwork or mounting as a table top.
