19th century, very well carved wooden panels with noble figures in elaborate dress in finely decorated interiors with multi-layered carving and lacquered, painted, and accented with gilding, the backside of the panels are black with low relief carvings of flora and fauna with gilt, both with wire hangers, perhaps originally door jamb decorations.

12 x 21.25 in.

From the Collection of Peggy W. Hollander, Martinsville, VA

Loss to edge border on backside of one panel; rubbing and wear to the lacquer and gilt; some creaking to wood on flat edges of panels.
