Blue Lattice Wall Panel Cabinet The square bird insignia onGansu, circa 1900 This lovely carved panel is in a duck egg blue finish, with delicately carved floral lattice work set in a square frame. It comes from Gansu in western China, where it would have been used as part of an internal divider or as a window panel. It would make a wonderful wall decoration today, hung above a console or sideboard.
