Art & Sculpture Chinese Cork Carving, Framed Antique

Our Price: $ 18.00 The gold frame which holds this Chinese cork carving measures 11 in. by 9 in. by 1/2 in. The actual carving is recessed within a blue fabric clad matt and has blue, hand-painted detail completing the composition.  There are a few bits of cork which have fallen by the wayside and these flecks are visible. The frame has a few scratches and one knick picked up over the years.  We estimate that this item was made circa 1900.  The condition of the frame is good; while all the corners are tight, there is a tiny bit of shrinkage in the wood.  The glass is intact. This early piece of Asian art weighs 1 pound.   Updating . . .
