This stunning Chinese screen is an exceptionally well-crafted piece, beautifully decorated with intricate semiprecious hardstone carvings. Measuring six feet in height, this screen has clearly been designed to occupy a prominent position in a room. The screen is made up of six individual folding panels. Each panel is fully lacquered, giving a rich, black hue, and has been designed in three parts: the lower part is square in form and set with a hardstone depiction of a Chinese symbol, while the larger rectangular middle part features hardstone decoration of exquisite colored vases and vessels with intricate, delicate flowers. The upper part is circular in form with hardstone carvings of birds and foliage. The hardstone decorations are mounted onto a black lacquer ground, and the compositions are surrounded by intricate painted scrolling motifs in gilt. The reverse of the screen is more simply decorated with a series of gilt florals and foliage designs on a black ground.
