About the Item
A Chinese Qing Dynasty period red lacquer shop sign from the 19th century with carved and lacquered calligraphy. This Chinese Qing Dynasty period shop sign is a remarkable artifact from the 19th century, boasting a vibrant red lacquer that has been masterfully applied to a robust, horizontal-shaped board. The sign features discreetly carved and lacquered calligraphy, a testament to the skilled artisans who crafted it. The calligraphy not only conveys the historical commercial identity it once advertised but also serves as a captivating visual centerpiece, rich in cultural heritage and artistic value.
The deep red lacquer provides a stunning background for the raised, darker-hued calligraphy, making it a striking piece of historical decor. The sign's elongated horizontal form makes it an ideal decorative item for a spacious wall, where it can be appreciated as a focal point in a living room, hallway, or above a mantle.
