The design evokes a painterly botanical study, with delicate flower stems climbing upward across the surface in a rhythmic, layered formation. The blossoms—rendered in tones of soft gold, pale green, ochre, and rose—appear to shimmer subtly against the dark background, accentuating the rich interplay of color and texture. Slender outlines etched into the lacquer define each bloom, suggesting influences from chinoiserie and 20th-century decorative arts.

Each of the four hinged panels is finished on the reverse in plain black, offering the option to display it flat against a wall as art or as a room divider. The stylized naturalism, restrained palette, and lustrous surface lend the piece elegance and versatility. This screen would work equally well as a statement wall piece, a backdrop behind a bed or sofa, or a sculptural focal point in a minimalist space. See less
