Vintage 2pc. Chinese 3D Wood Carving Art Plaque Gilded Gold-design

This item is a vintage, two-piece set of Chinese 3D wood carving art plaques with a gilded gold design. Each plaque features an intricate, three-dimensional carving depicting a group of figures, likely from a historical or mythological scene, surrounded by architectural and natural elements. The carvings show a remarkable level of detail, with figures in various poses, suggesting a narrative or procession. The material appears to be wood, with prominent gold gilding applied to the raised areas of the carvings and the ornate borders. A rich, warm reddish-brown color provides a contrasting background within the carved recesses, highlighting the gilded work. The construction is robust, suggesting a substantial piece. Visible condition issues include some wear to the gilding, particularly on prominent edges and surfaces, which is consistent with age and handling. There might be some minor dust accumulation within the deep crevices of the carvings. The overall aesthetic points to an ornate, traditional Chinese art style, likely from the mid-20th century or earlier, given the 'vintage' designation. The craftsmanship is high, indicative of skilled artisans who meticulously carved and finished these pieces. Each plaque has brass-colored metal hanging fixtures at the top, suggesting they are intended for wall display.
