Celestial Music Paintings (China)

These were a generalized disappointment, unfortunately. They have decent frames that compare to the description, but please believe that these are not paintings, they are poorly pasted on thin pieces of print paper, backed onto cheap cardboard, totally in line with other reviews I chose to optimistically dismiss when deciding to purchase. I kept them due to overstock's great customer service on the phone, however, will be needing to replace the cheap "art" with something I purchase down the road from a real artist. These look great in subdued lighting, as another reviewer also stated. They absolutely will embarrass you if you allow any of your guests to see them for what they are up close, so hang then in a dark area up and away a bit. Mine will be above large dressers in an Asian themed room. For the price, they are a good buy however, for four small pieces. I am learning on overstock there are a mix of really fantastic steals, and "you get what you pay for" deals". This leans heavily on the side of reality, but if you can't afford nice art just yet, these will be better than most things in this price range locally. I will also mention I bought the matching waste bin, although it does not advertise as matching, they are made with the exact same four pasted prints.

The overall appearance of the prints are good, and they make a nice accent to an oriental themed room. They shouldn't be used as the central point of focus as they don't really bear up to close scrutiny (plastic frames and glued on prints), but again they do make a nice accent in my application where the main piece is a 60 yr old hand carved Japanese cedar chest.

The pictures are cardboard reproductions that are framed in a carved-like frame. The frames look great and enhance the poor quality of the prints. They appear of higher quality when viewed from a distance. An inexpensive accent to an Asian-themed room.

Beautiful pieces. Fits and looks great on my wall. I know my guest will ask about where I got it and would be sure to direct them here.

These paintings are not realy paintings. They are cheep prints pasted on cardboard and not pasted well. They are framed in plastic frames that have been made to look like tarnished metal or wood. But from a distance they look very good. So if you are going to put them up some where were they are high up on the wall and can only be seen from a distance they are a steal. Other wise do not buy them because it will cost you a fortune to return them because of their weight.
