A spectacular and highly decorative 10-panel Chinese Coromandel lacquer folding screen, executed using the traditional Coromandel technique and richly hand-decorated with an intricate garden scene inhabited by pheasants, peacocks, cranes, songbirds, flowering peonies, flowering branches, and dramatic landscape design. The composition unfolds seamlessly across all ten panels, revealing new details the longer you study it. The decoration is deeply carved and hand-painted against a black lacquer ground, while the reverse displays a beautifully understated solid cinnamon-red lacquer finish, making the screen equally attractive from either side.
At over 12½ feet (151″) wide when fully extended, this is a truly monumental piece. It works beautifully as a room divider, a dramatic architectural backdrop, or simply as an extraordinary work of decorative art. Whether placed behind a sofa, used to define a grand room, or displayed as a statement piece, this is the sort of object that instantly transforms a space.
