| A wood tray from mid-19th century China is gilded with a scene from a scholar’s or high official’s home of an elaborately robed lady of leisure. She is seen in a screened and curtained area, indicated to the left of the tableau, seated reading poetry at a table. The woman’s attitude is casual and her surroundings elegant. Gilded foliage decorates the tray’s rim, and a maker’s seal is painted in red on the back side. This is a piece that preserves a glimpse into a China long gone. It shows wear around the edge of the rim and a scratched area in the lower left. Dimensions: diameter 11” (28 cm), height 1 ½” (4 cm). | |||||||||
