About the Item

This vintage five-panel lacquered screen from Thailand features a striking arrangement of hand-painted figural and animal scenes rendered in red, gold, and green against a black lacquered ground. Each panel is divided into three rectangular registers, all bordered by intricate stenciled motifs and fine gilt tracery. The compositions depict traditional Thai courtly life and religious stories, complete with temples, elephants, sacred trees, musicians, dancers, and wild animals—all executed in fine detail and framed within stylized scrolling floral borders. The scalloped crest of each panel adds an elegant architectural rhythm to the overall design. The color palette—anchored in a cinnabar-red frame accented with verdigris and gilt—evokes Thai temple murals and ceremonial lacquerware. This piece functions beautifully as both a decorative object and a room divider, introducing a sense of narrative, texture, and cultural history to interiors. Ideal for eclectic, maximalist, or Asian-inspired décors, it can anchor a gallery wall or soften the corners of a large living space.
