This extravagant piece measures 92 inches by 216 inches, or nearly eight feet by eighteen feet. It is beautifully finished in a fine black lacquer and is double sided.

Featuring twelve wooden panels hinged together, this beautiful screen is unbelievably commanding. The incredible detail rendered in each panel further adds to the beauty of this unique piece. Scenes of courtiers, temples, trees, rivers, boats, and swordfights all flow into one another, developing an incredibly unique story.

The upper and lower area of each piece features a border of dragons and clouds between two thin gold lines. Above the border on the upper part, a scene distinct from the main story highlights each separate panel. Some examples include two beautiful birds resting on finely-detailed branches, and a pastoral scene of small huts surrounded by rolling fields. The sides of the screen also feature such images. These are made distinct by the beautiful gold trim set around each image. The background also adds to their weight, as a beautiful gold pattern sits behind.

This piece is extremely rare. A screen of this size is extremely difficult to find in such great condition. Chinese art has become recognized as a very strong investment within art collections in recent years. This piece would likewise be a boon to an art collection, as well as a great investment and display piece.
