A PAIR OF HONGMU-FRAMED EMBELLISHED LACQUER WALL PANELS
QIANLONG PERIOD (1736-1795)
Each panel of shaped rectangular form is embellished in jade, hardstones and wood with four cranes, each grasping in its beak one of the attributes of the Eight Daoist Immortals, the cranes shown in flight above a scene of a pavilion nestled amidst rocks and trees including pine and flowering and fruiting peach, all on a lacquer ground of greyish-pink color. The black lacquer reverse is decorated with numerous gilt-highlighted cranes in flight amidst gilt clouds. Each section of the hongmu frame terminates in finely carved curved leaves, and has an inner key-fret border, the two lower leaf-shaped terminals joined by a key-fret and braid band.
30 x 43 ¼ in. (76.2 x 109.8 cm.)
