This is an interesting piece of woodwork using both what the nature has to give as well as a cultivated mind and good eyes in determining what is just the right amount of man-made work to add to the piece of material. The whole piece is taken from a section of a tree root that shapes like a Chinese rock landscape. A scholar is carved and added to underneath the tall rock on the upper right. At the bottom on the left, there is a pathway made of steps leading up and through the aged twined tree branches to the mountain path unknown (Detailed photos attached below) . Root carving is a favorite art for many collectors for Chinese art and it was very popular to the ancient Chinese scholars. One places a rock or landscape like formation, whether composed of wood or real rock, carved or not, on a table or a stand in a room for one's leisurely enjoyment. Such art affords lots of imagination and combines with nature to allow one to indulge in a free roaming world of one's most inner spirit.

#12038 Pair of Wall Hanging Mirrors Made with Antique Carved Bed Fragments

This is a close-up image of an antique hand- carved wooden panel, hand- painted in organic color pigment. Such panel would have come from an elaborately carved old Chinese canopy bed rather than from old Chinese windows or doors. The figures with the martial art movements in an operatic setting is a common scene found on many carved old Chinese beds from the late Qing period. The panel is also decorated with mother-of-pearl inlay showing white color floral motifs on the black lacquer. Shells were popular during the Ming and the Qing Dynasty at the south of the Yangtze River for decorating wooden ware and furniture pieces. Shells and mother-of-pearl were often grounded as powder and adhered to the carved area as a background to the carved objects, bringing lustrous and glittering effect to show off the level of luxury for the wealthy class during the late Qing Dynasty. Showing in the detail photos below are two separate panels made into two new hanging wall mirrors for the modern day decor. Dimensions: 12" w x 39.25" h x 1.25" d (each)
