Vintage Asian Mother of Pearl Inlay Crane Panel
$148.50
Asian Mother of Pearl Inlay Panel with Birds. Measures about 31.5" by 15.25. Good condition. All inlay is in tact. Has some crackling on the surface.
This breathtaking vintage panel is a masterclass in the art of mother of pearl inlay, capturing a serene and auspicious scene of cranes in a natural paradise. Each bird is individually crafted from shimmering shell, allowing their wings and elegant necks to catch the light with a rainbow-like luster against the deep blue and emerald tones of the background. In many Asian cultures, the crane represents longevity, wisdom, and peace, making this not only a beautiful piece of art but a symbol of harmony for the home.
The sheer scale of the piece—standing over thirty-one inches tall—makes it an ideal candidate for a statement wall or a narrow architectural niche. While the lacquer surface shows a delicate, authentic crackling consistent with its age and organic materials, the inlay work remains perfectly preserved and entirely intact. This natural patina adds a layer of vintage soul to the panel, distinguishing it from modern reproductions. Whether displayed as a singular focal point or paired with other Chinoiserie elements, this panel brings an undeniable air of sophisticated, mid-century elegance to any interior.
This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old.
