China, first third of the 20th century, important lacquer screen composed of a large main panel and two leaves on either side. The exquisitely detailed decoration depicts a court lady surrounded by six servants in the middle of a garden within the walls of a palace. A bird perches on a swing suspended from a gallows, while a woman fans the lady of the court. The three panels are richly decorated with floral garlands around the edges. The same decoration is repeated on the lower sections to emphasize the beauty of the animated scene. The reverse of the screen is adorned with gilded plants and flowers on a black background.
Because of its configuration, this screen can also be used as a screen to delimit a space, two parts of a room, etc...
The whole is very elegant and in good condition, apart from normal wear and tear and small whitish marks due to humidity, which of course have no effect on aesthetics and are much more visible in photographs than in reality.
Dimensions: Width: 102 cm (25.5 cm + 51 cm + 25.5 cm). Height: 91.5 cm.
