Cranes and Blossom Armoire The finish over the elmThis gorgeous print is inspired by the designs seen on coromandel screens of the 18th century. The original was painted over hand laid gold leaf, distressed to give an aged, antiqued look. The print is an accurate reproduction, capturing the subtle tones of the gold leaf and the precise brush strokes. The painting depicts a pair of cranes a symbol in China for long life and and for enduring love and loyalty in a marriage set against a blossoming tree
