Densely carved with an energetic landscape, this pierced panel was originally inserted to the ornate frame of a 19th-century canopy bed. Likely a scene from a classic Chinese novel, the panel depicts a group of young men receiving a boat with two passengers.

Carved to achieve a sense of depth, the scene is framed by rocky outcroppings and a canopy of trees. Architectural elements blend into the natural surroundings, including tall columns, lattice windows, and buildings in the distance. Presented on its own as a work of sculpture, this petite carved panel offers a Qing-dynasty perspective of an idealized past.

“Over the years, I’ve incorporated many pieces from PAGODA RED into my designs. Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
