Tea-ceremony folding screen with palms & tatched fence - Lacquered wood

An exquisite two-panel teaceremony screen 風炉先屏風 (furosaki’byôbu) depicting a thatched twig fence sweeping across a gold-leaf ground. The bundled twigs are built up in relief with shell-white pigment 胡粉 (gofun) and finished in gold leaf. Dark, palm-like leaves emerge between them, while irregular gold-leaf clouds enrich the background. A patterned brocade silk border surrounds the composition, enclosed by a black-lacquered frame. The composition dates from the 17th or 18th century and was later mounted as the present two-panel screen. Period: Japan – Edo period (17th–18th century); later mounted as this 2-panel screen. Dimensions: Height 64.4 cm; width 184 cm (2 x 92 cm). Considering its age, in very good restored condition, with minor losses to the gofun relief and signs of age and use on both sides. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition. The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art, but can of course also be displayed as a standalone piece. When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
