Carved Asian Wood Shrine Doorway
Carved Asian Wood Shrine Doorway
17.5 x 19.5 inches
Up for sale is a stunning aged Asian wood carving of a doorway that opens and closes. The doorway measures approximately 17.5 inches tall and 19.5 inches at its widest. The wood is a great rich red color and may be carved elm wood or rose but I am unsure. This came from an estate in Orlando from a couple who lived in China during the 1950's and traveled around Asia picking up unique antiques.
The doorway is in good condition other than the top right hinge of the right door has chipped off and previously re-glued, this could easily again be reattached. The very top pyramid portion is removable as it is held in with two nails. Their are small nails in a few places throughout the doorway and two flat head screws. I am not sure of the age besides this dating to the first half of the 1900's.
