| Finely carved and fitted fretwork in this 19th century Chinese interior window panel is emphasized by the addition of a mirror. The abstract winged shapes surround a circle that seems to float within the fretwork. Many thousands of different fretwork patterns such as this were created in China for use as architectural or decorative elements. The hand carved wood pieces on this panel and on all antique Chinese fretwork are closely fitted and held together in a puzzle-like fashion without glue or nails. To add the mirror, the fretwork panel has been placed inside a mirror-backed frame. By removing four screws on the back, the fretwork panel can be lifted off the mirror so the entire surface can be cleaned. This panel is in excellent condition; the mirror is new. It can be used as a vertical or horizontal piece. Dimensions: height 31” (79 cm), width 19 ½” (50 cm), depth 2” (5 cm). | |||||||||
