Chinese Four-Panel Black Lacquer Screen with Soapstone Overlay

Item Details

This classic four-panel Chinese folding screen features a lustrous black lacquer finish adorned with intricate high-relief overlays. Hand-carved soapstone and organic hardstone elements are expertly applied to create a dynamic ‘Birds and Flowers’ composition, specifically featuring magnolias and various songbirds. The panels are framed by an incised gilt-painted border with scrolling lotus motifs. The reverse side offers an alternative decorative option with flat-painted floral vignettes on a black ground. Supported by square legs with protective brass caps, this screen serves as a functional room divider or a significant wall-mounted decorative work.
