Large tray with a wavy shape, made of dark lacquer and entirely decorated by hand with fine golden and polychrome brushstrokes that simulate a chiseled effect. The central scene depicts figures in traditional clothes inside a garden with pavilions and architectures, rendered with great precision and rich details. The decoration also extends to the wide border, adorned with floral and geometric motifs, also made with the same meticulous fine-lined technique. The skillful use of gilding, varied from matte to brighter gold, enriches the overall decorative effect. Oriental manufacture, probably Chinese for export, late 19th - early 20th century. Dimensions: 51 × 42 cm Condition: some widespread wear and small lacquer losses on the edges; overall well legible, stable and with a strong decorative impact.
