AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking two-panel lacquer folding screen 屏風 (byôbu), decorated with seasonal flowers and foliage arranged along sweeping, ribbon-like bands against a glossy black ground.
The bands curve across the upper left corner and sweep upwards from the lower edge towards the right, leaving a generous expanse of black at the centre. Subtle shading lends the overlapping bands a folded appearance. Long, pointed horizontal streaks in gold and silver tones extend behind them, reminiscent of stylized water ripples.
The decoration includes chrysanthemums 菊 (kiku), cherry blossoms 桜 (sakura), plum blossoms 梅 (ume), autumn maple leaves 紅葉 (momiji), peonies 牡丹 (botan), bush clover 萩 (hagi) and bellflowers 桔梗 (kikyô). Warm gold and orange-red tones are complemented by white lusterous mother-of-pearl inlay 螺鈿 (raden), used for selected blossoms, leaves and flower centres.
A narrow gold line borders the composition, enclosed by bevelled black lacquer edges. The reverse is finished in plain black lacquer.
Signed in the lower left corner.
Period: Japan – Taishô period to early Shôwa period (early 20th century).
Dimensions:
Height 146 cm, Total width 140 cm (2 x 70 cm).
Weight: 25.8 kg.
In very good condition, with light signs of wear and some small lacquer chips along the edges. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.
A certificate of authenticity will be included.
Please note: Due to its exceptional weight and fragility, this piece is available for collection near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Transport within the Netherlands and to Antwerp, Brussels, Paris and their surrounding areas may be arranged by prior agreement.
