About the Item
This vintage four-panel Chinese folding screen features an expressive arrangement of large-scale calligraphy across a finely aged surface. Each panel is hand-painted with flowing black ink characters in vertical columns, accompanied by multiple red seals that serve as both signature and stylistic punctuation. The inscriptions appear to reference poetry or classical literature, written in a refined yet spontaneous brush hand that draws the eye from top to bottom.
The surface of the panels is finished with a parchment-toned crackle effect, lending a sense of texture and age to the piece. Golden borders at the top and bottom enhance the sense of formality and provide subtle contrast to the bold inkwork (the video shows them the best). The panels are substantial in scale and appear to be mounted on a solid wood framework beneath the calligraphic surface.
Whether displayed standing or mounted, this calligraphy screen offers a commanding visual presence. It functions not only as a decorative object but as a tribute to the visual power of written language in Chinese art. Ideal for interiors seeking a cultural statement piece with understated elegance.
