Ancient Chinese architecture has set principles of design that can be traced back three thousand years or more—to the early Zhou dynasty. The beauty of the classic timber framework buildings was often enhanced with gilded paintings or elaborate embellishments such as this intricately carved and painted wood valance. Architectural elements of this size and age are exceedingly rare. The detailed woodworking and muted colors combine to create a stately sculptural piece.

Elizabeth Krueger | Elizabeth Krueger Design

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
