An important decorative ensemble composed of two large Chinese wall panels created in the second half of the 20th century, around 1950.
Each panel depicts an imperial couple inspired by Qing dynasty iconography. The dignified and hieratic figures are seated on Ming-style chairs and crafted from inlaid jade and semi-precious stones carved in relief, assembled piece by piece, and then delicately enhanced by hand.
The contrast between the pastel tones of the stones and the deep black background framed by a geometric gold border gives the ensemble a remarkable presence.
With their monumental dimensions (92 cm high), these panels structure a space and constitute true centerpieces in an interior:
— Large contemporary living room
— Library or office
— Entrance hall
— Hotel or interior design project
They can be displayed side by side for a powerful symmetrical effect or placed facing each other to create an architectural dialogue.
