This hand-painted panel, laden with meaning, was once an interior panel of a large cabinet. The young boy is dressed in a traditional red apron. Children were a popular motif in Chinese artwork. Prospective parents looked to them as symbols of good luck to encourage healthy pregnancies. We acquired this panel from a large collection of painted panels found outside of Beijing.

Andrea Goldman | Andrea Goldman Design

“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.”
