Curious Antiques

Description

A stunning and very rare antique 18th Century Chinese memorial or funereal tile or panel, c1790. The panel is beautifully hand-carved in stone and is decorated with a central figure (possibly an immortal) playing a drum.

It has aged well, with great colour/patina. There is a large central crack to the stone with a small loss on the edges (see photographs), but this is entirely consistent with its age and use.

Overall condition is good. The piece is stable and nicely presented on a modern frame/mount. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like to view the item.

Size: 35 cm tall x 19 cm wide.
