AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

**Large decorative panel in carved and painted wood, with figures and dragons – 150 cm**

A scenographic horizontal decorative panel, made of carved and pierced wood, with rich decoration in shades of red, green, black and gold.

The composition features twelve stylized figures, arranged in sequence with hands joined in front of the chest, garments in alternating colors and radiating-style headdresses. At the ends, two large dragon-like creatures frame the scene, with open jaws and elaborated profiles. A band of vegetal and geometric motifs runs along the lower edge.

The relief creates a pleasant play of positive and negative space, highlighting the faces, drapery and details of the figures. The decorative language evokes Southeast Asian craftsmanship; specific provenance and era are not documented.

A striking presence, ideal above a sideboard, a bed headboard or a door, or as a backdrop in a Wunderkammer.

**Dimensions:** width 150 cm, height 30 cm, depth about 4 cm.
**Weight:** about 2 kg.

It presents patina, abrasions and wear to the painted and gilded decoration, with small irregularities and wood marks visible in the images. The surface has not been polished to preserve the signs of time, leaving the buyer the choice of any interventions. Conditions as shown in the photographs, part of the description.

Seller's Story

Welcome to a fascinating journey into the beating heart of the 20th century, where the objects that animated that era are transformed into custodians of timeless stories, passions and emotions in a journey that combines the elegance of antiques with the unmistakable charm of vintage. From a land rich in traditions like Italy, and in particular from the vibrant South, I dedicate myself with passion to the search for unique finds, authentic witnesses of a century full of history and innovation. Every object, whether it is an antique piece of furniture or a rare vintage item, carries with it stories and emotions, evoking memories of a time that continues to inspire.
