About the Item

Six-Panel Lacquered Screen with Red-Crowned Cranes in Flight. Rendered in a richly layered palette of warm ochre, black, and soft metallic tones, this vintage six-panel screen presents a striking tableau of red-crowned cranes in flight. The design is etched and painted across a subtly gridded background, creating a dynamic sense of motion and depth as the birds overlap and intertwine in a complex yet harmonious composition. The cranes are meticulously stylized, with overlapping feathers and elongated necks outlined in deep black, each bird rendered with rhythmic linework that emphasizes their elegance and grace. A fine floral border decorates the perimeter of the screen, introducing small botanical flourishes in red, white, and soft green that provide delicate contrast to the strong avian forms. Brass-capped feet ground the piece and lend a quiet gleam to the base. The reverse offers a complementary botanical motif with birds, bamboo, and flowering branches painted in soft, luminous tones on a dark field, allowing the screen to serve as a decorative focal point from either side. Vintage surface wear is present, consistent with age and use, contributing to the character and texture of the piece. Ideal as a statement backdrop or room divider in both traditional and modern interiors.

Black Lacquer Screen with Cranes and Gold Leaf, Four-Panel Room Divider
Located in Yonkers, NY
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.
