Lovely and large piece of chinoiserie art pieces on wood board. The images of the emperor and empress are somewhat two dimensional. I was told they were carved out of soapstone and then hand painted...but I am not sure it is soapstone. They have amazing detail. They are impressive in size. 30"W x 48"H (that's the dimension of the frame - the brass hardware at the top extends another 1.5"). The frames are 1.25"D. They are on a matte black background with a gilded design that borders the rosewood frame. They each have two decorative brass mounts at the top of the frame.
This auction runs late! Consider putting in Proxy Bids on later lots if you cannot make it to the end; Proxy bidding occurs when bidders place a maximum price you would like to pay for an item and the computer system will bid for you by the bid increment until someone places a higher bid than your maximum.
