About the Item

PRESENTING AN EXCEPTIONAL 20C Anglo Indian Style Double Sided Profusely Inlaid 4 Panel Screen or Room Divider. Made in Hoshiarpur, India, circa 1960-80. Made of ‘teak’ wood in the Mughal Style, with pierced frieze panels and profusely inlaid with white plastic (faux ivory), to replicate earlier, ivory inlaid Hoshiarpur craftsmanship. NOTE: We have tested the inlay and there is no elephant ivory in this piece and therefore it is 100% legal under CITES restrictions. The use of plastic/resin, rather than elephant ivory, tells us that this is a 20th Century piece. It is a 4 panel, hinged, foldable screen and double sided. Each panel is of identical construction, design and decoration … front and back. The crown/top section has an arched and curved, Mughal or Islamic arched style top, a central inlaid faux ivory peacock and pierced frieze surround. Below this is another pierced frieze panel. Then it has a solid and profusely inlaid rectangular panel which is edged with faux ivory and ebony chevrons, floral inlay inside that and then an oval inlaid central medallion featuring 3 Elephants, a Lion and 2 Deer. The lower central section features a rectangular vertical solid panel which is edged with faux ivory and ebony chevrons, then an inlaid central section featuring a ‘fabulous’ Peacock, perched up on a leafy tree branch, with flowing plumes extending downwards. The base central panel again features a central inlaid faux ivory peacock and pierced frieze surround, to replicate the one on top. All the side and cross supports (holding the panels in place) are inlaid with faux ivory floral decorations and each side pillar ends with an inlaid ‘urn’. The inlaid animals ALL have been hand-painted using traditional Indian ‘lac’ ink. THIS IS A CLASSIC example of the type of furniture that was being made by expert craftsmen in Hoshiarpur, from the early 1700’s .. up to this very day. Up to Indian independence in the 1950’s, almost all of this furniture, was made for export and specifically for sale to British Military Officers, Diplomats and visiting “Nobility/Gentry’. WHEN IT COMES TO HOSHIARPUR INLAID FURNITURE … THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! Provenance: From a Quality Houston, TX Estate Dimensions: Each Panel is 72 inches tall, 20 inches wide and 0.75 inches deep Fully Opened the Screen is 72 inches tall, 80 inches wide and 0.75 inches deep Fully Closed the Screen is 72 inches tall, 20 inches wide and 4 inches deep. Condition: Very good original condition. No losses of inlay to any of the main panels. No missing, broken or cracked frieze panels.

From the beginning of the nineteenth century they were imported more commercially, although not in any significant numbers until the middle decades. They were very highly valued, especially the early ones, to the extent that the designs were copied on late 19th and early 20th century tins.
