About the Item

This vintage four-panel screen presents a striking textural surface with a richly layered Negora lacquer finish, a decorative technique known for its organic, almost reptilian crackle pattern. Each panel is composed of rectangular sections, framed in dark wood and filled with a rhythmic lattice of honey-toned forms, their irregular outlines evoking the look of reptile skin or magnified seed pods. The palette ranges from burnt orange to ochre and golden brown, producing warmth and visual depth, depending on the light. The surface is tactile and subtly reflective, with evidence of wear and slight warping consistent with age and use. While sculptural in its own right, the screen remains functional—suited for use as a room divider, a layered backdrop behind a bed or console, or as a dramatic freestanding object in minimalist interiors. The combination of handcrafted irregularity and geometric layout makes it a compelling piece for collectors of Asian decorative arts or fans of vintage lacquerwork. Quietly bold and naturally graphic, it invites attention without shouting.
