Chinoiserie Inlaid Mother of Pearl Wood Panels

Item Details

A set of decorative chinoiserie panels. The four panels in this lot are made of black lacquered wood with mother of pearl and painted detail. Each panel features a different pastoral scene, possible representing different seasons. Imagery includes a boy playing a flute, while riding on the back of an ox, palm trees, small islands, and birds in flight in the background; a man and boy tying up stalks of grain, with mountains, palms, and islands in the background; a courting scene under a full moon, with the same island backdrop; and a cultivation scene, again with islands and palms. The panels include hooks on the back for wall hanging. They are unlabeled.
