I would have happily said it was the usual modern copy except the hand painted panels are very unusual and too much effort has gone into them. A Chinese friend has translated them and they seem to tell the story of a girl asked to join the communist party to route out the enemy. I've never seen such panels on a Chinese cabinet before and guess its 1950's just after the revolution. Given your experience in the matter I was wondering about your take on them and if you have seen similar pieces before? Is it a modern fake etc or a patriotic country piece?\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">A reader from the web<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eab91a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"eab91a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.antique-chinese-furniture.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/painted-chinese-furniture-panels-1024x357.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9420d8d elementor-widget elementor-widget-read-more\" data-id=\"9420d8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"read-more.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antique-chinese-furniture.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/10\/burn-loot-and-pillage-destruction-of-antiques-during-chinas-cultural-revolution\/#more-2511\" class=\"more-link elementor-more-link\"><span aria-label=\"Continue reading Burn, loot and pillage!
