FAQs

Folding screens originated in ancient China during the Eastern Zhou period and evolved into intricate decorative art forms. By the Qing Dynasty, screens featuring silk needlework panels mounted in carved hardwood frames were produced both for domestic use and for European export.

Traditional Chinese screens typically feature frames constructed from dense hardwoods such as rosewood or hongmu. The interior panels are composed of silk textiles adorned with hand-stitched silk embroidery depicting natural motifs.

Authentic period screens exhibit hand-worked satin stitch embroidery with fine detail on natural silk backings, along with hand-carved mortise-and-tenon wooden joinery rather than modern screws or nails.

A carved silk screen can be positioned in an empty corner to add vertical height and texture, or placed behind a sofa or bed frame to serve as a tactile, focal wall feature.

To preserve silk screens, keep them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent thread fading and timber warping. Dust the wood framing with a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical cleaners on the textile panels.
