Description :

A richly detailed three‑panel Chinese wall display crafted in black lacquer with hand‑applied mother‑of‑pearl inlay. Each vertical panel presents an intricate naturalistic scene, featuring birds perched among flowering branches rendered in iridescent shell. The inlay work shows fine line cutting, subtle color variation, and layered shaping that gives the birds and blossoms a dimensional, luminous quality against the deep lacquer ground.

The panels are framed with traditional geometric borders, adding structure and contrast to the organic compositions. Together, the three panels create a continuous decorative presentation characteristic of mid‑ to late‑20th‑century Chinese export lacquer work.

Surfaces show age‑related wear, including scuffs, finish losses, and areas of wear to the mother‑of‑pearl inlay. Edges and corners show handling wear. Please review all photos for a complete view of condition.

Dimensions Each panel: 36" H × 12" W × 1" D

Condition Notes – Wear and losses to lacquer surfaces – Wear and losses to mother‑of‑pearl inlay – Edge and corner wear consistent with age

A visually striking decorative piece with classic Chinese lacquer artistry, suitable for display, restoration, or incorporation into a curated interior.
