Four-Panel Gilt and Lacquer Folding Screen with Cranes and Lotus

About the Item

A striking four-panel Chinese folding screen featuring an opulent gilt background and richly painted imagery, likely dating to the late 20th century. The front of the screen showcases an elegant composition of red-crowned cranes in flight over lotus blossoms and lush foliage, all rendered in vibrant hues of blue, green, ochre, and rose. The background transitions from shimmering gold across the sky to deep black at the base, enhancing the contrast and visual depth of the scene. Executed in the traditional lacquer technique, the screen’s surface features finely detailed linework and hand-painted color washes, highlighting the grace and symbolism of the crane—long associated with longevity and harmony in Chinese culture. The reverse side presents a more subdued composition with perched and flying birds among leafy branches, creating a decorative contrast that allows for versatile display. Whether used as a room divider, statement wall piece, or sculptural accent, this vintage Chinese screen offers both cultural richness and decorative impact. Its dramatic color palette and poetic subject matter make it an ideal fit for interiors blending classic Asian aesthetics with contemporary design.
