19th Century Zhejiang Chinese Bed Panel: Made of Elm (Yúshù) Tongue and Groove Construction. 19th Century Chinese beds are some of the most beautiful handcrafted creations for a home during that could be imagined. Often times referred to collectively as "marriage beds", these breathtaking works appear as grand alcoves of luxury and privacy. This panel is from such a bed, painted in Chinese red with lovely carvings, some in exceptionally high relief and hand painted gilt images. This panel was a striking decor item that framed a mounted wall mirror in an entry way. It was a beautiful look but the owner in a previous home simply had it hanging and it brought almost two decades of enjoyment. It can do the same for you. 75 x 23" in total height and width, the opening is 30 x 20". In overall excellent conditon given its 150+ years in age. Outside shipping required for which we can recommend a most reputable and resonable company. Estimated Value $300 - UP
