Traditional Gilded Wooden Carvings with Gold Leaf
- by Jake Williams
A stunning pair of traditional gilded wooden carvings from a historic Straits Chinese residence.
Adorned with delicate floral vase motifs and beautifully highlighted in gold leaf, these intricate carvings celebrate the rich heritage of Peranakan craftsmanship.
Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, they reflect the elegance, artistry and cultural fusion found in the grand Nyonya homes of Penang and Malacca.
A beautiful reminder that gold leaf has enhanced craftsmanship across cultures and centuries.
