Highly Unusual Qing Dynasty Chinese Carved Toad & Gold Thread Table Screen
About the Item
This finely crafted piece combines traditional Chinese textile artistry with intricate woodcarving. The central element is a circular silk embroidery, depicting a serene scene with figures set amidst a landscape of stylized trees and architectural motifs. The embroidery features delicate polychrome and gold threads, showcasing exceptional detail and skill in its execution, likely reflecting themes of prosperity, harmony, or daily life in classical Chinese culture.
The panel is mounted within a lacquered frame, supported by an elaborately carved wooden stand. The base of the stand features a dramatic depiction of a three-legged toad (Chan Chu), a symbol of wealth and good fortune in Chinese folklore, surrounded by swirling cloud motifs that evoke a sense of celestial harmony.
This piece serves as a testament to the synthesis of multiple art forms in Chinese decorative traditions, blending textile work, symbolism, and woodcarving into a harmonious display. Likely created during the late Qing dynasty, it embodies the refined aesthetics and craftsmanship of its time.
