FAQs

The Eight Divine Horses symbolise strength, vitality, speed, and success, frequently depicted in classical Chinese art to bring good fortune and positive energy to a household.

These pieces are typically carved from indigenous hardwoods such as camphor or elm, then finished with intricate layers of gold leaf gilding and lacquer.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-chiseled tool marks, natural ageing and shrinkage of the timber, and wear to the surface gilding consistent with age.

Mounting the panel on a neutral wall allows the intricate relief work and gilded details to serve as a striking textural focal point within the space.

Keep the panel away from direct sunlight and high humidity, dusting gently with a soft, dry brush without applying chemical cleaning agents or moisture.
