Four-Panel Coromandel Vintage Floor Screen with Flying Cranes

About the Item

A vintage Chinese Export four-panel Coromandel lacquer folding screen featuring an idyllic pond landscape with five red crowned cranes flying over a pound with lucious vegetation. Embarking upon a poetic journey through timeless Chinese artistry, this vintage Chinese Export Coromandel lacquer folding screen with four panels is a visual symphony. Steeped in both cultural and aesthetic richness, the screen features an idyllic pond landscape with five regal red-crowned cranes, also known as Manchurian cranes, effortlessly gliding over lush vegetation and serene waters. In Taoism, the Manchurian crane is an emblem of longevity and immortality, and their inclusion adds a layer of spiritual allure to the screen. The craftsmanship is impeccable with a golden ground on the upper section providing a celestial backdrop, while the bottom part is a sumptuous black lacquer. The contrast between the slightly raised motifs at the top and the incised décor of the bottom is a visual sonnet. Large, extravagant flowers in the lower section beckon the onlooker to partake in nature's bountiful beauty. Flipping to the reverse side, the screen does not disappoint. With an incised décor of birds perched on branches, the back is a harmonious continuation of the front's natural theme, both rendered with subtle, elegant colors that pop against the black lacquer. Each panel measures a harmonious 16" in width and is supported by straight legs, offering both stability and grace. The back will be touched up before shipment, ensuring that the piece reaches you in flawless splendor. This folding screen is not just a room divider but an immersive artwork, bestowing any interior with an ambrosial touch of Chinese heritage and natural tranquility.
