Byōbu folding screen - Silver Leaf - Japan - Silver Leaf Two Panels

Silver Leaf Two Panels Folding Screens Byobu Room Dividers This two‑panel byōbu is finished in silver leaf with a fine silk‑weave pattern, giving the surface a soft, textured shimmer that changes gently with the light. The understated gradient and refined minimalism create a calm, spacious atmosphere, allowing the silver to speak through its natural patina. The panels show the quiet dignity of an early‑Showa piece, with the silver leaf having matured over time into a warm, elegant tone that only decades of aging can produce. The proportions—67.4" wide when fully opened—make it suitable as a room divider, alcove display, or a luminous backdrop in a modern interior. The black lacquered frame adds a crisp contrast to the subtle silver surface, enhancing the screen’s presence without overwhelming its simplicity. With its combination of silver leaf, silk‑weave texture, and early‑20th‑century character, this byōbu offers a refined, timeless accent that brings a gentle radiance into the room while retaining the quiet beauty of a well‑preserved antique. Two panels dimensions: 67.4" W x 68.1" H / 171.2cm x 173.2cm One panel dimensions: 33.7" W x 68.1" H / 85.6cm x 173.2cm Material: Silver Leaf Technique: Silk Weave Pattern Weight: 6790g Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
