About the Item
A striking four-panel Chinese folding screen featuring an opulent gilt background and richly painted imagery, likely dating to the late 20th century. The front of the screen showcases an elegant composition of red-crowned cranes in flight over lotus blossoms and lush foliage, all rendered in vibrant hues of blue, green, ochre, and rose. The background transitions from shimmering gold across the sky to deep black at the base, enhancing the contrast and visual depth of the scene.
Executed in the traditional lacquer technique, the screen’s surface features finely detailed linework and hand-painted color washes, highlighting the grace and symbolism of the crane—long associated with longevity and harmony in Chinese culture. The reverse side presents a more subdued composition with perched and flying birds among leafy branches, creating a decorative contrast that allows for versatile display.
Whether used as a room divider, statement wall piece, or sculptural accent, this vintage Chinese screen offers both cultural richness and decorative impact. Its dramatic color palette and poetic subject matter make it an ideal fit for interiors blending classic Asian aesthetics with contemporary design.

Vintage Four-Panel Black Lacquer Folding Screen with Hand-Painted Crane Motif
Located in Yonkers, NY
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. Whether displayed in a minimalist loft, an Art Deco–inspired interior, or alongside antique furnishings, this black-lacquer heron screen...
