Large four-panel folding screen in black lacquered wood, richly decorated with birds, rocks and floral motifs – Far East China / Hong Kong.

Origin: China (traditional Chinese craftsmanship, a typical high-quality export item).

Description: Splendid and imposing four-panel folding screen in wood with a glossy black lacquer finish. The main side features a refined relief decoration (with elements in reconstructed hardstone, mother-of-pearl and hand-painted) depicting a natural landscape with flowering branches (such as plum or cherry), bamboo, ornamental rocks and exotic birds (including cranes and songbirds), traditional symbols of good luck, longevity and prosperity.
The back is adorned with elegant floral decorations (chrysanthemums) finely incised and outlined in golden tones.
