The hand-painted central composition is beautifully highlighted by a textured, square gold leaf field that brilliantly catches and reflects ambient natural light.

The central crane vignette is elegantly balanced by thick, black lacquered frames adorned with a continuous geometric pink and gold fretwork border, injecting a sophisticated, graphic touch that echoes both Art Deco and traditional Asian design sensibilities.
Uniquely configured to maximize display flexibility, the reverse side of each panel is finished in a clean, stark black lacquer coat. The top of each panel comes fitted with its original, heavy, geometric brass key-fret hangers, allowing the screen to either fold as a classic floor screen or be flush-mounted side-by-side to a wall as a seamless, continuous graphic mural. It is a highly versatile statement piece perfectly suited for layered contemporary, transitional, or Hollywood Regency interiors. See less
