This truly spectacular folding screen is a centerpiece of Chinese decorative arts, likely dating to the mid-20th century, drawing inspiration from the elaborate Coromandel lacquer screens of the Qing Dynasty. Comprised of ten towering panels, each standing 8 feet tall, the screen features a brilliant, polished black lacquer finish that provides a dramatic canvas for the intricate artistry. The front is adorned with hand-painted gold and sepia narrative scenes, depicting classical Chinese figures, landscapes, and courtly life. Crucially, the screen is double-sided, with the reverse featuring a simpler, complementary decorative work, doubling its utility and artistic value. This is a singular, grand statement piece crafted to command attention in the most luxurious spaces.
The large scale and depth of detail make this screen a transformative architectural element, perfect for Maximalist, Traditional, Hollywood Regency, or High-End Transitional interiors. As a Dramatic Wall Mural: Fully extend the screen against a single, large wall (such as behind a sofa or dining table). It instantly provides the visual impact of a massive mural or painting with the added texture and depth of the folding panels. Or use the screen to define and separate large, open-concept spaces (e.g., separating a dining area from a living area or creating a private office nook). The double-sided decoration ensures the piece is visually appealing from any direction.
