About the Item
A pair of Chinese Qing Dynasty period hand-carved and lacquered puppet show signs from the 19th century each depicting two characters. Travel back to the vibrant world of 19th century Chinese theater with this pair of Qing Dynasty hand-carved puppet show signs. Expertly crafted, each wooden panel celebrates the intricate artistry of puppet theater, a crucial component of traditional Chinese culture.
Each sign features two characters, intricately carved into the wood, donned in ornate costumes indicative of the theatrical flair of puppet shows. The characters are suspended amidst carved scrolling clouds, further accentuating the ethereal aura of the scene. Hand-painted accents skillfully highlight these details, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Chinese artistry.
Surrounding the carved scenes, a stark black frame contrasts against the varnished wooden panel, drawing attention to the striking intricacy of the characters. The back of the signs remain uncarved, a testament to the authenticity of the hand-crafted process.
With their captivating design and historic significance, these puppet show signs offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, perfect for enthusiasts of Chinese culture, antique collectors, or those seeking a distinctive décor piece. These signs do not only stand as a testament to Chinese craftsmanship but also encapsulate the theatrical energy and cultural richness of Qing Dynasty puppetry.
