An antique Chinese carved wooden decorative panel attributed to the mid-Qing Dynasty (18th to early 19th century). The panel features an elaborate high-relief carving depicting a traditional Chinese figural scene with two horsemen riding two horses, accompanied by four attendants. The six figures are arranged in a lively and dynamic composition, possibly representing a ceremonial procession or a scene from a traditional Chinese historical story. The figures and horses are intricately carved, displaying detailed costumes, expressive postures and carefully executed decorative elements. The carving retains its traditional gilded and polychrome lacquer decoration, giving the figures a rich and distinctive appearance. The surrounding wooden frame is decorated with red lacquer and carved floral scrollwork. Particularly attractive are the black lacquered sections embellished with mother-of-pearl inlay, featuring delicate geometric and floral patterns. The combination of high-relief wood carving, gilded decoration, red lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlay reflects the craftsmanship and artistic traditions of Chinese decorative woodwork. The panel may originally have formed part of a larger architectural or furniture decoration.
