Description

Beautifully embroidered by hand in gold thread on black silk, this superb pair of 19th century Chinese panels are set within a mahogany framed fire screen – the frame is aesthetic movement in design and dates from the late 19th Century, the panels are in my view a little earlier.

The four dragons are each unique and there is superb fluidity in every movement, each chasing a flaming pearl.

Perfectly preserved for more than a century, the gold bright and untarnished and without damage.

These are beautiful works of art set within an elegantly turned solid mahogany frame.


Dimensions are:

Max width when unfolded is 41 inches and height is 30 inches.

When folded the width is 20.5 inches.

For metric please multiply by 2.5
I describe and photograph my pieces accurately and with the aim that on arrival each will exceed expectations.

I operate a full refund guarantee and am always happy to give free, honest and friendly advice.
