AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A striking, tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) entirely covered with lustrous gold-coloured paper.
In Japan, such tranquil and evenly composed screens are often placed behind ikebana arrangements or ceremonial objects, serving as an elegant backdrop that elevates the display.
The screen is framed by a black lacquered wooden frame fitted with protective metal hardware.
Period: Japan – Late Shôwa period (Late 20th century)
Dimensions:
Total width: 354 cm (2 x 60 cm and 4 x 58.5 cm); Height: 173.8 cm.
In a very good condition with some small signs of wear conform age on both sides. Please refer to the photos for a detailed condition reference.
The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art, but can of course also be placed as a standalone piece.
When shipped, we will include a certificate of authenticity.
