Chinese Four-Fold Screen with Peonies and Blue Magpies, 1963, "Creek Dwelling"

About the Item

Chinese Four-Fold Screen with Peonies and Blue Magpies, 1963, "Creek Dwelling" Workshop Description: An authentic Chinese four-fold screen from the "Creek Dwelling" (溪居) workshop, created in 1963 during the early People’s Republic of China period, just before the Cultural Revolution. This exquisite screen features vibrant peonies and blue magpies, symbolizing prosperity and joy, painted in the traditional bird-and-flower (huaniao) genre with delicate ink and watercolor on paper. The calligraphy, dated "End of Autumn, 1963," and the accompanying seals ("Creek Dwelling" and "Seal of Creek Dwelling") confirm its authenticity as an original work. Measuring H60.5cm x W124cm, its smaller size makes it ideal for a sophisticated interior, whether in a London townhouse or a Parisian apartment. Likely exported to a Western market such as Great Britain or France in the 1960s, this screen is a testament to the enduring appeal of Chinese decorative art, perfect for collectors and designers seeking a piece with historical depth and aesthetic elegance. Condition: Good, with minor wear consistent with age.
