Antique, Chinese carved, red painted and gilt Wood Panel with pomegranates, branches and leaves in a heavy, dark wood frame. The pomegranate as a subject made this panel valuable to bring auspicious energy for fertility and good luck for many prosperous offspring in the form of children, projects, ideas, qi (energy), or individual work efforts and opportunities for leaving a meaningful legacy. Fruit, in general, symbolizes the cycle of life and rebirth, by holding seeds that later can bear more fruit and so is used in many Chinese pieces to bring these kinds of good luck. This panel measures 28" wide , 10 3/4" high and 1 1/2" deep overall (outside dimensions of the frame). The antique carved panel includes its own "frame" or border around the carvings of fruiting branches and is touched on its top edge with gold leaf. The elegantly carved pomegranates, leaves and branches are also gilt. The solid wood panel behind the carvings is painted with matte red stain. The exterior frame has been made so that the border frame of the carving sits inside the frame opening and is held in place by tension of the outer frame. A hanging wire across the back of the panel for hanging. It is in good condition with signs of age and wear as follows: one leaf is missing on the front top right side and a few chips on the corners of the carving, scratches to the back panel, overall patina commensurate with age. Nice rich brown frame and aged red paint and gold leaf. A lovely piece of wall decor with patina and character to not only bring good energy but a beautiful botanical touch to a space. Hang above a door, in place of a painting or add it as an interesting element to a gallery wall.
