A good traditional Chinese gilded wooden panel which is intricately carved with the eight divine horses of Emperor Wang Mu on and around a bridge, ca 1900.<\/p>\n
The horses are carved against a finely detailed background of temples, trees and a bridge.<\/p>\n
A very decorative piece which is in very good condition and ready to hang.<\/p>\n
Provenance: The carved panel is from the estate of the late Gabriela Grillo (1952-2024). She was one of the most globally celebrated dressage riders, having won a team gold medal at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, as well as many other medals in top European championships.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Gabriela was awarded the German Federal Cross of Merit, 1st Class.<\/p>\n
Although of German origin, she was an Anglophile and kept a beautiful pied-\u00e0-terre near Westminster. This was where, with her passion for important horse inspired antiques, she kept much of her collection.<\/p>\n
