This striking four-panel folding screen, crafted in mid-20th-century China, marries graphic modernity with timeless decorative motifs. Each panel’s upper edge undulates to create a sculptural, multi-level silhouette, while the deep black lacquer ground provides a dramatic backdrop for the carefully rendered scene. Two graceful cranes—painted in soft whites with red-tipped crowns—stand poised in concentric gold-line ripples, their long legs and outstretched wings rendered in subtly shaded brushwork that conveys both strength and serenity. Surrounding the birds, abstract reeds and ribbon-like forms sweep across the panels in gradients of teal, lavender, and gold, suggesting stylized waterways and wind-blown foliage. Unobtrusive brass hinges allow the screen to extend into a full, bold arc or collapse flat for easy storage. Measuring approximately 80½″ high by 80½″ wide overall, it is substantial enough to define a seating area, screen an entryway, or serve as a moody focal wall. Surface wear—including fine lacquer crazing and minor scuffs—speaks to decades of use and imbues the piece with authentic vintage character.
