Large Six-Panel Chinese Hardstone and Lacquered Folding Screen
Chinese, Early 20th Century
This exquisite six-panel black lacquered folding screen, crafted in the early 20th century, showcases exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. Each panel features a richly detailed hand-carved hardstone design, depicting birds perched gracefully on flowering rose stems amidst a delicate gilt-painted scroll foliate motif. The intricate inlays, rendered in vibrant hues of yellow, orange, tan, green, brown, and red, create a striking contrast against the deep black lacquer background, enhancing the screen’s visual appeal.
The lower section of each panel presents an almost square frame adorned with inlaid hardstone floral and butterfly and or bird motifs, while the upper rectangular section highlights an elaborate composition of blooming roses and birds in varying poses. These intricate depictions are framed by an elegant gilt scroll border, further emphasizing the fine detail and balance of the design.
The reverse side offers a more serene aesthetic, adorned with hand-painted gilt medallions featuring lotus flowers, phoenix birds, deer, dragons, and turtles, all set against the lustrous black lacquer ground. This dual-sided artistry enhances the screen’s versatility, making it suitable for a variety of display settings.
Anchored by brass feet for durability and subtle elegance, this folding screen is both a functional room divider and a stunning decorative statement. Symbolizing freedom, prosperity, and cultural refinement, this piece seamlessly blends beauty and symbolism, making it an ideal addition to any sophisticated interior. Whether used to define a space, serve as a dramatic backdrop, or be mounted flat as an art piece, this screen embodies timeless elegance and exquisite craftsmanship.
Dimensions: 72 1/2 inches Height x 96 3/4 inches Width x 1 inch Depth. (Each panel is 16 inches width)
