Chinese Four-Panel Coromandel-Style Floor Screen with Waterfowl Motif
Item Details
This Chinese four-panel floor screen is a classic example of Chinoiserie decorative art. The front facade features a serene naturalistic scene of waterfowl and ducks navigating through tall aquatic grasses and stylized rock formations, rendered in a muted palette against a decorative crackle-lacquer ground. The scene is framed by an ornate border of auspicious scrolling cloud motifs. The reverse of the screen offers a contrasting minimalist composition of a flowering branch and rocks. Supported by brass-wrapped feet, this versatile piece serves as both a functional room divider and a significant work of Asian-inspired wall art, capturing the traditional ‘bird and flower’ painting aesthetic popular in global export markets.
