Chinese Six Panel Coromandel Lacquer Folding Screen
About the Item
This coromandel lacquer screen is incised with colorful scenery depicting idyllic courtly life in a palace complex. Finely dressed ladies and their female attendants stroll throughout a grand enclosed courtyard of elaborate pavilions and low railings. Some engage in esteemed activities of the refined mind, such as practicing calligraphy or admiring scrolls, while others relax and enjoy themselves by playing games, watching a dance, or observing the mountainous scenery. Swirling clouds float overhead and lotus blossoms dot the waters below. The scenery is enclosed by a border of floral scrollwork, stylized to resemble powerful dragons. At the bottom of each panel is an array of precious objects, including bronze censers, jade carvings, burlwood brush pots, and enameled porcelain.
The back of the screen has a more minimal design, each panel decorated with two bird-and-flower pairings. Set within the confines of the vertical panel, the scenes are reminiscent of a collection of painted hanging scrolls. Alternating hinges allow the six-panel screen to be displayed free-standing as a room divider, or laid flat along a wall as an artwork.
