Framed Chinese Ivory Dynasty Floral Relief Panel

This item is a rectangular, framed relief panel featuring an intricate floral design, likely depicting chrysanthemums, in a vase. The panel itself appears to be made from a light-colored material, possibly a type of alabaster, marble, or a synthetic composite, serving as a neutral background for the relief work. The relief elements, which constitute the floral arrangement and vase, exhibit fine carving and appear to be crafted from 'Ivory Dynasty' material, which is typically a synthetic resin designed to mimic the appearance and texture of ivory. The colors used for the floral elements are primarily yellow for the blossoms, with darker greens for the leaves and stems. The vase itself shows detailed decorative patterns in shades of dark green, black, and possibly red accents on the handles. It rests on an ornate, open-worked stand, and a smaller potted plant is depicted to its left, on the ground level. A distinctive feature is a long, thin implement, possibly a paintbrush or writing tool, lying horizontally in front of the vase. The frame surrounding the panel is dark, likely wood or a composite material, and is meticulously inlaid with geometric patterns and small floral motifs, possibly using mother-of-pearl or bone, creating a decorative border. The overall construction suggests careful craftsmanship. No significant condition issues like cracks, chips, or repairs are immediately visible from the provided image, though detailed inspection would be required. The style points to a traditional Chinese aesthetic, and given the 'Ivory Dynasty' context, it is likely a modern reproduction or decorative art piece, possibly dating from the late 20th century to the present, rather than an antique made from genuine ivory. The quality of the carving and inlay appears to be high, indicating a well-made decorative item.
