Description :

Antique two-panel Asian folding floor screen dating to the early 20th century, featuring carved hardwood frames with pierced openwork and finely detailed bone inlay depicting birds among willow branches. The panels are set against a contrasting black ground with red lacquer-style borders and hand-applied floral decoration.

Original small brass hinges with multiple hand-driven nails further support early construction. Likely Japanese export work from the Taisho period.

Age-appropriate wear throughout. One panel exhibits notable loss to one of the inlaid bird details, with minor additional losses and surface wear present. Hinges are intact and the screen remains structurally stable.

A highly decorative and well crafted piece ideal for fireplace use or Asian inspired interiors.


Dimensions : 35 in W x 38 in H
