Pair of Rare Antique Japanese Folding Screens with Provenance

About the Item

Six panels each depict Chinese-inspired landscapes showing cranes, pines, peonies, cherry blossoms, mountains and water, all symbols of prosperity and longevity, decorated with splashed gold leaf. Amazingly, the screens come with an original period fitted pine wood case. Under the cover, it has hand-written with note describing the location of the warehouse as well as the date of the storage with the Japanese reign mark dated 1812. An original receipt from a NYC gallery dated 1985 is also included.
