[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 287071, member: 2844"]Mo, I love it. It is a panel from a house or a piece of furniture, like a Chinese wedding bed: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2Ff6%2F75%2Fc7%2Ff675c7156568cb759c3b64a31aba689e--antique-beds-hand-carved.jpg&sp=30fd74191e89a6f8660902616e912aea[/IMG] House: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthumbs.dreamstime.com%2Fz%2Finterior-ancient-chinese-house-rich-golden-decorations-carved-wood-68555619.jpg&sp=989bd33cde2e6ef1545303e9a2442612[/IMG] The decoration in houses and on beds was always made in panels that could slide into a framework, hence the thinner edges. These examples are carved as well, but your painted panel was once part of the same kind of construction.[/QUOTE]
