Estimated value: €400 – €1,000. Monumental Chinese woodcarving panel executed in high relief, crafted from wood and richly finished with gilding and remnants of polychromy. The panel depicts an elaborate court scene with multiple figures around a table, set within an architectural pavilion structure featuring eaves, openwork ornamentation, and geometric details. The composition is deeply carved, with distinct layering and carefully modeled poses and facial expressions. The red background enhances the contrast with the gold and emphasizes the narrative scene. The reverse is closed with a wooden plate, consistent with traditional Chinese interior work. Such panels were used as wall decoration or as part of a larger interior ensemble. China, 19th century. Dimensions: height 56 cm, width 33 cm.
