This is a striking vintage 4âpanel Asian folding screen crafted in the classic Coromandel lacquer tradition, featuring deep black and oxblood red tones with rich handâinlaid decoration. Each panel is constructed from solid wood, giving the screen a substantial, highâquality feel that stands out from lighter modern reproductions.
The artwork is executed with raised motherâofâpearl, abalone, and carved stone inlays, creating a dimensional, sculptural effect that shifts beautifully in the light. The scenes depict traditional nature imagery including birds, blossoms, and lotus motifs, all framed by elegant gold chinoiserie borders and geometric trim. The craftsmanship is detailed and expressive, with crisp lines, clean inlay work, and strong lacquer surfaces.
Heavy brass hinges connect the panels, and the base features brassâcapped feet for stability and floor protection. This screen displays beautifully as a statement dĂ©cor piece, a functional room divider, or a dramatic backdrop in a living room, bedroom, office, or studio.
Very good vintage condition with clean lacquer surfaces, bright inlay, and strong color. Light surface wear consistent with age. No missing inlay observed. Hinges operate smoothly and panels stand evenly. Solid wood construction gives the piece excellent weight and presence.
