Oriental Inspired Decorative Six Panel Lacquered Screen with Inlay

1900 - 1920
Description

A striking six-fold decorative screen, richly lacquered in deep black and adorned with exquisite hardstone inlay work, dating to circa 1900. Each panel is a visual poem, featuring hand-applied motifs of birds, blossoms, and branches rendered in semi-precious stones and coloured pigments—evoking the refined artistry of late Qing or early Republic craftsmanship.

The lower sections are carved in relief with traditional fretwork and floral detailing, adding depth and texture to the composition. Hinged for flexibility, the screen functions beautifully as a room divider, backdrop, or statement piece in both classical and contemporary interiors.

Ideal for collectors, stylists, or designers seeking a piece that blends decorative opulence with cultural heritage. A rare and elegant addition to any curated space.

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.
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.
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.

A Chinoiserie lacquered folding screen is a multi-panel decorative partition originating from East Asian design traditions, crafted using coats of resin lacquer and embellished with relief inlays or painted flora and fauna.

Traditional screens feature a timber framework coated in natural resin lacquer, with decorative inlay scenes composed of carved hardstones, soapstone, mother-of-pearl, or shell.

Authentic pieces exhibit layered lacquer surfaces showing natural age craquelure, hand-carved stone or shell inlays, brass panel hinges, and detailed joinery on the framework and reverse side.

Position the screen partially folded as a backdrop behind seating, freestanding to frame an area, or mounted flat against a wall as architectural art.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, keep away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, and avoid liquid cleaners or polish on the lacquer finish.
