Chinese Four-Fold Screen with Weeping Willow, Plum Blossoms, and Sparrows, 1963

About the Item

Chinese Four-Fold Screen with Weeping Willow, Plum Blossoms, and Sparrows, 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 elegant screen features a graceful weeping willow adorned with plum blossoms and sparrows, symbolizing resilience, renewal, and simplicity, painted in the traditional bird-and-flower (huaniao) genre with delicate ink and watercolor on paper. The calligraphy, dated "Beginning of Spring, 1963," and the accompanying seals ("Creek Dwelling" and "Seal of Creek Dwelling") confirm its authenticity as an original work. Measuring H89cm x W175cm, 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.
