About the Item
A vintage Chinese three-panel screen, designed with a trompe-l’œil effect that depicts shelves of classical vessels in the manner of an antiquities display. Each panel is hand-painted with amphorae, kraters, and other ancient-style ceramics, arranged within painted niches framed to resemble wooden cabinetry. The lower sections continue the illusion with painted cabinet doors, complete with stylized handles, enhancing the screen’s architectural presence.
The palette combines earthy reds, ochres, and neutrals, with subtle shading that gives the vessels depth and a sense of three-dimensionality against the pale textured ground. The overall effect recalls both archaeological imagery and neoclassical design, making the piece particularly suited to interiors that celebrate art, history, and antiquity.
Hinged for flexibility, the screen can be displayed fully extended as a wall-like backdrop or folded to provide depth and variation in form. Whether used as a decorative accent, room divider, or theatrical backdrop, this painted screen carries a timeless character, blending traditional Chinese craftsmanship with classical European-inspired subject matter.
