AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A luminous two-panel screen (byōbu) decorated in gold leaf, with a black lacquered frame and finely pierced high-quality metal fittings.
The shimmering gold surface contrasts with the dark lacquer frame, reflecting light in a distinctive way that transforms the screen into a focal point within any room.
A lacquered wooden frame completes and protects the piece.
The screen can also be easily mounted on a wall or used as a room divider.
Byōbu (屏風), literally “wind protection screens,” are traditional Japanese folding screens originally created to divide spaces and today appreciated above all as striking wall-mounted paintings.
The byobu is in very good condition, with minor wear consistent with age. Please refer to the pictures for further details.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
