ABOUT PRODUCTID 1763
This miniature decorative lacquer screen from 1950s China exemplifies refined craftsmanship within the tradition of oriental decorative arts. The piece consists of six wooden panels, joined with silver-toned hinges. The primary surface is a deep, glossy black lacquer, serving as a backdrop for hand-painted motifs depicting women in kimonos, as well as birds, flowers, butterflies, and traditional Chinese vases. The artwork is rendered in warm shades of gold, ochre, and red, highlighted by an ornamental floral border at the top of each panel. The reverse side features painted compositions with botanical and animal motifs. The lacquer finish is highly polished and mirror-like, reflecting light with subtle intensity. Short, slightly splayed legs and pointed arches at the base of each panel give the screen a precise, balanced character. The screen is in excellent condition, with no visible signs of damage, wear, or restoration; both the painted details and lacquer surface are exceptionally well preserved. In this miniature format, the screen tells a story of mid-20th-century Chinese aesthetics, where nature symbolism and feminine imagery intertwined with the art of lacquerware. The black lacquer accentuates the depth of hand-painted scenes, while flashes of gold and warm tones evoke the refined atmosphere of traditional interiors, where light would filter through paper screens. The object seems to whisper from its era—a narrative of meticulous detail, reverence for the natural world, and the subtlety of everyday moments. Each of the six panels carries a fragment of this history, forming a coherent, poetic composition. This screen may serve as a decorative accent atop a sideboard or shelf in the living room, particularly when surrounded by natural materials
