Chinese Hardwood & Carved Giltwood Mirrored Back Hanging Display Shelf 19th C.
About the Item
This exquisite Chinese wooden display shelf is a masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship and artistic embellishment, offering both functional storage and an elegant visual statement. The rich, warm-toned wood is accentuated by intricate giltwood carvings that adorn the piece in a striking arrangement. A large, elaborate panel of gilded carvings crowns the top, depicting dynamic scenes of scholars, mythical landscapes, and figures engaged in daily life, evoking a sense of historical narrative and cultural sophistication. A similarly grand giltwood panel at the base balances the composition, grounding the piece with a harmonious aesthetic.
On either side, two smaller square gilded relief carvings add depth and refinement, their intricate detailing showcasing figures in flowing robes set against ornate backgrounds. Each shelf is backed by a mirrored panel, enhancing the display potential by reflecting light and adding depth to showcased objects. The precisely carved edges and structural joinery further highlight the meticulous craftsmanship inherent in traditional Chinese furniture design. Also adding a Grand Tour Greek Key styling to the rims. With its combination of ornamental beauty and practical function, this display shelf serves as both a distinguished decorative element and a testament to the enduring elegance of Chinese artistry.
There is an old label to the verso mentioning Ming Dynasty, however, we believe this to be a 19th Century piece - possibly using older elements.
