This five-fold Burmese folding screen dates from 1950. Constructed from wood, it has an arched top cresting and is lacquered on both sides in red and black pigment. Each panel is decorated with incised lacquerwork depicting detailed pictorial court scenes within framed compartments. The five-fold panel construction allows the screen to fold flat when not in use. Each individual panel measures 178 cm high, 46 cm wide and 2 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this screen serves as a decorative room divider or backdrop in a living room, bedroom or hallway. Its maximalist design works well in spaces that embrace rich colour and pattern, adding architectural interest and traditional Burmese craftsmanship to an interior scheme.

FAQs

Burmese lacquered screens are traditional folding room dividers decorated using lacquer techniques, where intricate designs are engraved or painted onto wood or bamboo panels to display narrative and courtly scenes.

Traditionally, Burmese lacquerwork incorporates natural sap from the lacquer tree applied over timber or woven bamboo structures, combined with mineral pigments such as cinnabar for deep red tones.

Authentic pieces feature multi-layered lacquer finishes with fine incised details, subtle surface craquelure consistent with age, and hand-executed courtly or religious pictorial motifs rather than modern printed transfers.

A lacquered room divider can be positioned against a blank wall as architectural artwork, used to zone open-plan spaces, or placed behind a headboard to add depth and narrative pattern.

Maintain lacquered screens by keeping them away from direct heat sources and sunlight, maintaining consistent indoor humidity, and dusting gently with a dry microfibre cloth without liquid cleaners.
