About the Item

An exceptional pair of 18th century Chinese architectural fragments, hand carved from wood and shaped in the likeness of miniature temples or pagodas. These richly detailed pieces feature intricately rendered figures engaged in musical performance, both inside and outside the structures capturing the spirit and cultural storytelling of the era. Painted in traditional red and gold, the fragments display a timeworn patina that enhances their historic character and visual depth. Originally part of a temple or ceremonial structure, they now stand as sculptural objects of art, perfect for display on shelves, pedestals, or consoles. A rare opportunity to bring centuries old craftsmanship and cultural heritage into a curated interior.
