Zitan Wood

Zitan is a very slow-growing Chinese type of wood in the family of rosewoods, which had remained unknown in the Western world for a long time. The wood is dense and its colour varies between black-lilac and blackish red. Artworks made of zitan wood are rarely painted and only sometimes show carved decor. The wood is usually left untreated, only finished with a fine lacquer coat or high polish to bring out the natural gloss of this rare tropical wood.


Condition: The panel is in good, restored condition. The height measures 45 cm and the width is 76.5 cm.


Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
