Description from the seller

Large Vintage Japanese Two-Panel Wooden Lattice Folding Screen – 202 cm Dark Lacquered Byobu Room Divider with Diamond Cutouts

【Description】
An exceptionally atmospheric vintage Japanese two-panel folding screen (Byobu / Lattice Room Divider), masterfully constructed from timber with a deep, dark antiqued finish.

Artisanal Craftsmanship & Traditional Details:
Intricate Lattice Design: Features fine vertical wooden slatted latticework (Koshi) reinforced with decorative dark metal studs/rivets across the support bars.

Geometric Diamond Cutouts:
The central horizontal frieze incorporates stylized diamond-shaped openwork cutouts (Hishigata-sukashi), allowing light to filter through elegantly while offering architectural depth.

Two-Panel Folding Mechanism:
Connected by durable vintage metal hinges, expanding to a total width of 202 cm or folding neatly down to 101 cm for versatile spatial arrangement and easy storage.

Contemporary Interior Display:
With its dramatic dark patina, geometric rhythm, and refined architectural presence, this 202 cm wide folding screen serves as a striking room divider, headboard accent, or decorative backdrop for modern Scandinavian, wabi-sabi, or contemporary interiors.

【Materials & Construction】
Timber: Solid wood frame and latticework with a deep dark-brown/black stained oil finish.
Hardware: Vintage metal hinges and decorative round studs.

【Condition】
Exhibits clean, honest vintage condition overall with authentic aged character. Condition details include:
Minor surface paint/finish rubbing and small scuffs on the top outer frame corners, revealing the warm underlying wood tone.
