Description
This narrow Antique Chinese Door boasts a beautiful openwork, hand-carved panel featuring a vase of flowers, which symbolizes the fleeting nature of life and refers to the ancient story of the Eight Immortals. This Antique Chinese Door would have conveyed a great deal of symbolic meanings for the owner, as the central flower vase is surrounded by butterflies (love and joy), peacocks (dignity and beauty), and peaches (longevity). In the low-relief carvings of the bottom panel, a duck (symbol of married bliss), stands amongst the lotus flowers (representing purity and perfection). This charming Antique Chinese Door could be hung on or leaned against a wall to add visual interest to any room. Several identical panels of this Antique Chinese Door with carved flowers and symbols are available and could be joined together to create a large screen.
