【Product details】
This elegant Edo-period or later two-panel folding screen features a serene depiction of chrysanthemums gracefully cascading over a wooden fence. The detailed brushwork captures the delicate petals in shades of white and red, set against a warm golden-brown background, evoking the refined aesthetic of classical Japanese art.
Chrysanthemums have long been a symbol of longevity, nobility, and rejuvenation in Japanese culture. Associated with the Imperial family and autumn, they are often used to represent perseverance and elegance. This refined composition embodies these themes, making it a timeless and meaningful work of art.
The screen shows signs of age, including scuffs, stains, and tears. The folds on the reverse side have been reinforced with green tape. The wooden frame has some chips. Please refer to the photos for details on the condition.
