Large Chinese lacquered and stone-inlaid four-panel folding screen, depicting court ladies and cranes among auspicious cloud scrollwork, each panel: approx 72"h, 16"w

03.11.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 1130: I note that the screen is presently intact, each panel smoothly joining together with metal latch mechanisms (are not joined by standard hinges), the black lacquered finish being overall well-preserved with typical minor surface wear such as sparse light abrasions, scuffs, and nicks, as well as having some light spotting, and a couple areas of craquelure, as described there are typical losses and glue restorations of the applied stone ranging in degree, most being minor, UV light examination better reveal some of these affected areas, which also have some scattered minor hairlines and chipping, both of which are typical and commensurate with age and use, the parcel-gilt decoration also overall well-retained with some light rubs
