About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this extremely well-made and highly collectable Chinese Export Soapstone room divider folding screen depicting court beauties A truly stunning and exquisitely made piece, I’ve not seen one with this finish before, the court beauties are rare, it really makes a change and brings a lot more light and presents to the piece. It’s finished with gold to the boarders which again gives it that Emperors palace charisma. The main figures are all hand carved from soapstone which has been expertly chosen based on the colour and size, this truly is the nicest example I have come across and worthy of any home Condition we have deep cleaned, hand condition waxed and hand polished it from top to bottom, it will have some age and use related patina marks here and there as you would expect. Please note there are some losses mostly to the left panel, this has been reflected in the price. Please also note that as per the measurements below, this is a half height room divider, meaning it would have been used for children, a table or hung on the wall as art Dimensions Height:- 95cm Width:- 123.5cm Depth:- 2cm Folded width 30.5cm and depth 11cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
