Set of 2 Long Slim Vintage Chinese Red Dragon Panels

This captivating pair of mid-20th century Chinese panels features intricately carved flying dragons swirling through clouds. Originally part of a grand pagoda, the long, slender hardwood carvings are finished in a striking red lacquer that instantly energizes a wall.

Each panel is slightly different in height, enhancing their sense of movement when hung together. The dragons, symbols of power, protection, and auspicious fortune, make these panels a powerful focal point in a hallway, stairwell, or above a console.

With wear consistent with age and use, including blemishes and imperfections, the panels retain the depth and character of true vintage architectural elements. They are substantial statement pieces that bridge the line between sculpture and wall art, best appreciated with professional white glove delivery.
