Byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) - Silk, Silver leaf, Lacquer - Japan - Taishō period (1912-1926)

A lovely, tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) finished with oxidized silver leaf 銀箔 (ginpaku). Over time, silver leaf naturally develops a soft patina, giving the surface a subtle and refined aged character. Mounted with a double silk border: an inner ecru band and a broader green outer band. Framed in a black lacquered wooden frame. In Japan, such tranquil and even screens are often used as a backdrop for ikebana flower arrangements or to accompany other decorative or ceremonial objects. Period: Japan – Taishô period (1912-1926). Dimensions: Total width: 350.8 cm (2 x 59.8 cm and 4 x 57.8 cm); Height: 173.4 cm. In a very good restored condition with minor signs of age-related wear to both sides. Two restorations of silver leaf 5th and 6th panel. Please refer to the photos for a clear condition reference. This room divider is well suited for mounting flat on a wall and displaying as a single artwork. When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included. Please note: Due to the holidays, shipping and handling times may be longer. Thank you for your understanding.
