About the Item
This vintage Chinese four-panel screen features a striking depiction of red-crowned cranes set against a luminous silver-colored ground. Rendered in a bold, stylized manner, the five cranes are arranged in a dynamic vertical composition—some standing, others in flight—surrounded by billowing black and silver cloud forms. Their finely detailed feathers are painted in earthy ochre tones with bold black accents and touches of red, while their elongated limbs and beaks lend a strong sense of rhythm and movement.
Unlike similar screens with gold backgrounds, this version showcases a silver ground, which softens the overall palette and allows the crane figures to emerge with heightened contrast and visual clarity. The birds—symbols of longevity and fidelity in Chinese art—appear in various poses, including one with a fish in its beak, reinforcing themes of abundance and prosperity.
Mounted on a wooden frame with exposed side hinges and square feet, the screen can be displayed freestanding or mounted flat as wall art. A dramatic focal point for modern interiors, it pairs well with both minimalist and maximalist decor, offering a bold yet elegant presence.

Vintage Four-Panel Black Lacquer Folding Screen with Hand-Painted Crane Motif
Located in Yonkers, NY
This striking four-panel folding screen, crafted in mid-20th-century China, marries graphic modernity with timeless decorative motifs. Each panel’s upper edge undulates to create a sculptural, multi-level silhouette, while the deep black lacquer ground provides a dramatic backdrop for the carefully rendered scene. Two graceful cranes—painted in soft whites with red-tipped crowns—stand poised in concentric gold-line ripples, their long legs and outstretched wings rendered in subtly shaded brushwork that conveys both strength and serenity.
Surrounding the birds, abstract reeds and ribbon-like forms sweep across the panels in gradients of teal, lavender, and gold, suggesting stylized waterways and wind-blown foliage. Unobtrusive brass hinges allow the screen to extend into a full, bold arc or collapse flat for easy storage. Measuring approximately 80½″ high by 80½″ wide overall, it is substantial enough to define a seating area, screen an entryway, or serve as a moody focal wall.
Surface wear—including fine lacquer crazing and minor scuffs—speaks to decades of use and imbues the piece with authentic vintage character. Whether displayed in a minimalist loft, an Art Deco–inspired interior, or alongside antique furnishings, this black-lacquer heron screen...
