About the Item

This round carved panel from China, made of rubber wood, features a traditional double dragon motif in openwork relief. The two dragons are depicted in motion, their sinuous bodies intertwined in a balanced and symmetrical composition. The carving shows fine craftsmanship, with attention to detail in the scales, claws, and expressive faces of the dragons. In Chinese culture, dragons are positive symbols of strength, wisdom, and protection. They are considered to be powerful spiritual creatures associated with the heavens and water, and often appear in pairs to represent balance and harmony. Panels like this one were commonly used in furniture decoration or as stand-alone wall ornaments, especially from the mid-20th century onward. This piece is decorative and brings an element of traditional Chinese symbolism into any space. While similar designs are still produced today, this panel stands out for its hand-carved detailing and clean execution. A charming accent for lovers of Asian-inspired interiors or collectors of folkloric motifs.
