Gold and Black Lacquered Four-Panel Folding Screen with Birds and Blossoms

About the Item

This vintage Chinese folding screen features four arched panels, richly lacquered in deep black and decorated with intricate gilt motifs. The front face showcases a luminous composition of flowering branches and elegant birds—cranes, peacocks, butterflies, and sparrows—rendered in gold leaf with fine linework and dramatic contrast. The design climbs vertically, offering a balanced sense of motion and stillness, ideal for decorative emphasis in a living room, bedroom, or entryway. The reverse side is more restrained but equally detailed, presenting hand-painted floral and avian scenes in soft greens, creams, and corals against the same dark lacquer ground. Crafted in wood with a traditional lacquer finish, this piece blends beauty and function, working equally well as a room divider, wall-mounted panel, or sculptural accent. Gilt details on the feet complete the frame, subtly reinforcing its decorative richness. The screen folds and is freestanding. Signs of age are present, enhancing the patina of this well-preserved, vintage decorative screen.
