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.

This six-panel folding screen follows a Chinoiserie style, originating around 1900 during the late Qing or early Republic period. The construction utilizes wood finished with a deep black lacquer, complemented by hand-applied soapstone inlays, coloured pigments, and brass hinges. The visual composition displays botanical motifs, including flowering branches, blossoms, and avian illustrations across the main panels, while the lower sections incorporate carved pierced fretwork bases and floral detailing. The item measures 183 cm high, 270 cm wide, and 20 cm deep. Folding screens of this type function practically as a flexible room divider or decorative backdrop. In a contemporary home, this screen serves as a statement piece in living areas, bedrooms, or entrance halls, providing visual division within an interior space. The surface exhibits a polished dark finish contrasted by the multicoloured relief of the semi-precious stone inlays, creating a textured interplay of relief and flat planes. The articulated panels fold easily to adjust to various spatial requirements, allowing for freestanding placement against walls or as a partition. The design bridges classical aesthetics and maximalist interior schemes, suiting diverse residential settings.

FAQs

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.
