Japanese Calligraphy Two-Panel Folding Shodō Screen with Gold Leaf Accents
Located in Yonkers, NY
A Japanese screen with hand-painted calligraphy with maker's red seal. This striking two-panel folding screen is a masterful representation of shodō, the Japanese art of calligraphy. Bold, flowing brushstrokes sweep across the panels, capturing the elegance and spontaneity intrinsic to this centuries-old tradition. Crafted with sumi ink on washi paper, the calligraphy radiates energy and refinement, framed by golden borders that lend a touch of luminosity to the piece. The screen's lightweight wooden frame, combined with its durable yet delicate paper panels, exemplifies the balance of strength and grace characteristic of Japanese design. Whether used as a decorative accent or a room divider, this piece invites contemplation and artistry into any space. Its compact two-panel format makes it ideal for smaller interiors, serving as a focal point in a study, library, or entryway. Measuring at 53.5 inches in height, this screen is not tall enough to function as a traditional room partition but can still subtly define spaces in creative ways. It is perfect for accentuating specific areas of a room, such as a corner nook...

Vintage Screens and Antique Room Dividers on 1stDibs: Japanese Screens, Chinese Screens and Art Deco Screens for Sale

Whether they are implemented as decorative accents or makeshift partitions to ensure privacy, antique and vintage folding screens and room dividers easily introduce sophistication and depth to any space in your home.

The earliest examples of folding screens are said to have originated in China and go back at least as far as the Han dynasty. Screens of the era were heavy structures made of wood and had hinges of cloth or leather. They were adorned with elaborate landscape paintings that were typically created on silk or paper canvases and applied directly to the screen’s panels afterward. Just as they had been in the 20th century and today, the folding screens then were recognized for both their practical and purely decorative properties.

Japanese room-divider screens were also decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile. They took on considerable event-based importance when the structures gained popularity in the East Asian country, as the folding screens were used in performing arts such as concerts, tea ceremonies and more. Later, artists elsewhere warmed to folding screens and sought to create their own.

In European countries such as France, where they were known as paravent, folding screens began to materialize in apartments in Paris, gaining favor with the likes of pioneering couturier Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, who is said to have accrued more than 30 and used them as a precursor to what we now know as wallpaper.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique and vintage folding screens and room dividers, which, given their history, may do a better job of bringing people and cultures together in your home than sectioning off a space. Search by material to find options in metal, fabric or wood, or browse by style for mid-century modern designs and examples from the Art Deco era.
