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.
