AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb and rare complete set of four vertical decorative panels in black lacquer with gold leaf, made by the prestigious and world-renowned Maison Thành Le (Binh Duong, Vietnam), active in the mid-20th century.

Each panel is a meticulous work of artisanal craftsmanship illustrating the traditional Asian theme of the "Four Gentlemen". Each plant embodies a season and specific virtues.

- Orchid (Lan): represents spring, a symbol of elegance and refinement
- Bamboo (Truc): represents summer, a symbol of uprightness, strength, and flexibility
- Chrysanthemum (Cuc): represents autumn, a symbol of longevity and serenity
- Plum Blossom (Mai): represents winter, a symbol of perseverance and renewal

Bronze hardware allows the panels to be hung.
One of them has a few scratches, but they are in good condition.
