About the Item

A spectacular and most impressive Chinese 18th century Coromandel Lacquered screen. Each of the eight panels are raised by two feet formed from an urn shaped arch below a foliate decorated band. The center of each panel joins together to depict various scenes executed in the Kuan Cai or "incised colors" technique. The front side of the screen features bottom panels showing various birds on/near a variety of blooming trees, while the central panel depicts a battle scene on horseback through hills and forests. The tops show a variety of vases holding floral branches, and bowls of fruit mirroring the species depicted on the bottom panels, separated and framed by continuous floral borders. The back side of the screen showcases bottom panels displaying a variety of plants in bloom, while the central panels show scenes of Chinese pastoral life. The upper panels display scenes and homes around a lake, all separated and framed by scrolled designs accentuated with lotus blossoms.
