This is an antique 140 year old Chinese (c. 1870's) wooden carving depicting men and women dancing in the garden. The carving is intricately and deeply carved (see closeup photos) in Chinese hongmu (a type of elm) wood.
This carving was probably once incorporated into a much larger piece of furniture like a wardrobe or bed (see last picture). During the Chinese cultural revolution most of these fabulous carvings were destroyed. Some were saved... and warehoused until now. As China attempts to maintain her long cultural heritage, such carvings are no longer being allowed out the country. We have a limited number that we shipped from China 10 years ago.
