About the Item

A striking display of artistry, this Chinese lacquered folding screen showcases a mesmerizing composition of red-crowned cranes in flight against a golden backdrop. The four-panel construction features a dynamic arrangement of cranes, their detailed plumage accentuated by subtly raised lacquer outlines, lending a dimensional quality to the artwork. The luminous gold ground, possibly applied with gold leaf or gilded foil, creates a radiant contrast to the deep black lacquer frame. Delicate hand-painted floral motifs soften the edges, introducing a refined decorative element. On the reverse, an equally elegant painted landscape unfolds, featuring songbirds perched among flowering branches and lotus blossoms. This dual-sided design enhances versatility, allowing the screen to function as both a decorative statement piece and a functional room divider. Whether placed as a dramatic backdrop in a dining room, used as an ornate headboard alternative, or positioned as a freestanding accent in a grand entryway, this screen brings a sense of timeless elegance and cultural symbolism. The red-crowned cranes, revered in Chinese tradition as symbols of longevity and peace, add an auspicious presence to any interior. A sophisticated blend of Asian decorative art and craftsmanship, this Chinese screen balances artistry and function, making it an exquisite addition to both traditional and contemporary settings.
