| Once part of a 19th century Chinese wallscreen, this rectangular fretwork panel originally had a sliding panel of solid wood behind it that could be opened and closed to regulate light and air circulation. In place of the wood, a mirror now slides down into a slot behind the carved openwork, giving the panel a new purpose. The clever construction allows the mirror to be slipped out for easy cleaning. Rich red/gold elm wood fretwork in a modified key pattern is notched around the top and bottom of the open oval to create a simple and elegant design. The mirror can hang from the metal Chinese hanger or, for a plainer look, the decorative hanger can be removed. The piece is in excellent condition. Dimensions: height 22-1/2" (57 cm), width 15" (38 cm), depth 1-3/4" (4 cm). | ||||||
