Chinese Hardwood Screen

1900 - 1920
Description

An elegant Chinese hardwood screen, finely carved and rich in patina, reflecting exceptional craftsmanship and traditional artistry. The central panel depicts a serene scene of birds among flowering branches—one captured mid-flight—symbolising harmony and natural beauty. The frame is adorned with geometric fretwork and stylised corner spandrels, adding architectural balance to the organic composition. Crafted from a dense, dark hardwood, the screen radiates warmth and refinement. A striking decorative piece, it embodies the symbolism and sophistication of classical Chinese design. Minor age-related imperfections are present, enhancing its authenticity and storied character.

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

Historically placed on scholar desks and altar tables, Chinese table screens served both functional roles, such as shielding inkstones and paper from draughts, and decorative roles displaying symbolic imagery.

Traditional Chinese screens were typically crafted from dense hardwoods such as rosewood, zitan, or padauk, utilizing floating timber panels framed with precise mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic traditional pieces display hand-carved relief detailing, natural timber grain variation, and traditional joinery constructed without modern screws or synthetic adhesives.

Position a carved screen as a focal accent on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk to introduce visual texture and historical depth alongside contemporary furnishings.

Position the timber away from direct heat sources and moisture to prevent movement, dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly to protect the finish.
