Chinese Wood Folding Floor Screen with Gemstone Inlays

Offered by: Tishu

Description
A six-panel hinged hardwood folding floor screen from China circa end of the 19th- early 20th century. Presented in grand Chinoiserie style, each panel features three sections of black lacquered compartments inlaid with a variety of scholar objects fashioned from semi gemstones. The top features flowers in vases, desk top scholar objects such as seal and brush pen holders; the middle showcases collections of archaist bronze vessels and the bottom is permeated with various auspicious symbols and additional antique vessels. The back is more subdued and decorated with gold lacquer inlay of floral and other traditional symbols.
The panels have hinges on the side and linked with removable pins. They came apart easily for transportation. The screen was made at the turn of 20th century, most likely for the western market.
