Vintage Chinese "Four Seasons" Inlaid Hardstone Wall Panels – Complete Set of 4
This listing is for a complete, matching set of four vintage mid-century Chinese decorative wall plaques representing the Four Seasons. Crafted in Taiwan (Republic of China) circa the 1970s, each panel features a distinct 3D botanical scene—representing Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—artfully constructed from carved, applied relief semi-precious hardstones (including soapstone, agate, and serpentine motifs). The intricate floral and vase arrangements are set against a muted golden-tan background and housed in traditional glass-enclosed wooden shadowbox frames.
While individual replacement panels appear on the market occasionally, finding a fully intact, matching set of four with all original factory inspection and translation labels preserved on the back is uncommon.
Specifications:
Art Style: Traditional Chinese Chinoiserie / 3D Relief Artisan Export
Materials: Carved Hardstones, Wood Frame, Glass Protective Fronts
Country of Origin: Taiwan (Republic of China)
Quantity: Complete set of 4 panels
Theme Labels Included (see photos)
Condition Notes:
This set is in good, structurally sound vintage condition. The central 3D stone inlay work is fully intact on all four panels. These items are being sold in "as-found" estate condition and exhibit surface dust on the glass and frame exteriors; they will benefit from a light cleaning upon arrival.
The wood frames show minor cosmetic wear consistent with age, including a few surface scuffs and a small chip or two on an outer corner. Due to eBay photo limitations, the provided images depict specific examples of this typical vintage wear. Please note that not every individual cosmetic imperfection is pictured, and the photos should be taken as a representative example of the overall vintage condition.
