| Product Description: The centers of these windows are carved with a complex carrying-style wedding basket design with a simplified Double-Happiness motif and various seasonal flowers. The bottom panels are finely carved with landscape scenes with old Chinese houses, pagoda, pavilions, trees, birds, and passengers. All tied in with a looping rope design ornamented with rare motif of carved peapods. The carved basket centers are weak and need additional supporting work to be done. this is an extremely elegant pair!

They are great investments of life-time aesthetics for a home. Sets composed of eight, ten, twelve, or more panels are rare.
