🌟 Vintage Pair Chinese Fú Lù Shòu Gilded Metal Cabinet Hardware Mounts 🌟

VINTAGE Pair Chinese Fú Lù Shòu Gilded Metal Cabinet Hardware Plaques - 13.5" Wide Auspicious Vintage Chinese Decorative Hardware Pair This is a beautiful and unique pair of matching, mirrored, gilt-over-black decorative metal fittings, inherited from my mother. They are very likely antique or vintage Chinese furniture hardware that would have originally adorned the front or sides of a cabinet, chest, or decorative plaque. The intricate, scrolled design prominently features the three most important symbols in Chinese culture for a prosperous life: Fú Lù Shòu (The Three Star Gods). Symbolism and Design Details Fú (福): The character on the left piece, representing Good Fortune, Happiness, and Blessings. Lù (祿): The central character on both pieces, representing Prosperity, High Rank, and Wealth. Shòu (壽): The character on the right piece, representing Longevity and Long Life. Imagery: The gilded background features highly detailed motifs including auspicious birds (such as stylized cranes or phoenixes) and floral/scrollwork designs, all executed in a high-contrast Chinoiserie style. Measurements (Approximate) Each Piece (Max Length): 6.75 inches (approx. 17 cm) Height (Max): 4 inches (approx. 10 cm) I am not an expert in Chinese antiques or hardware; these pieces were inherited from my mother's estate. While I've provided the common name and symbolism, the age, material, and exact origin are based on my best research.
