19th century
Description

A striking Japanese four-panel folding screen, beautifully crafted in wood and lacquer. Each panel features intricate openwork lattice designs in the upper sections, complemented by finely carved floral and symbolic motifs that speak to traditional Japanese aesthetics. The lower panels are solid, adorned with embossed medallions and decorative reliefs, offering a rich contrast in texture and tone. The reddish-brown wooden frame pairs harmoniously with the black lacquered interior, creating a piece that is both visually balanced and culturally resonant. Ideal as a room divider or statement wall piece, it brings depth, history, and artistry to any interior.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Folding screens originated in ancient China during the Eastern Zhou period and were later introduced to Japan and Korea, serving initially as freestanding windbreaks and spatial partitions within traditional architecture.

Traditional room dividers are constructed with solid timber frames, hand-cut lattice fretwork, and layered natural lacquer finishes, often featuring relief carvings and gilded accents.

Authentic examples display traditional mortise and tenon joinery, natural wear near hinge attachment points, hand-carved irregularities in the fretwork, and multi-layered lacquer finishes rather than uniform modern sprays.

A four-panel screen can be positioned partially folded in an empty corner to introduce vertical scale, placed behind seating to anchor a space, or mounted on a wall to serve as architectural panel artwork.

Dust surfaces regularly using a clean microfiber cloth, avoid chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners, and position the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent lacquer crazing or wood movement.
