Byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) - Silk

A striking, tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) entirely covered with lustrous golden silk with a faint square pattern. In Japan, such tranquil and evenly composed screens are often placed behind ikebana arrangements or ceremonial objects, serving as an elegant backdrop that elevates the display. The reverse is lined with glossy green silk. The screen is framed by a sturdy black lacquered wooden frame fitted with protective metal hardware. Period: Japan – Mid-/Late-Shôwa period (Mid-/Late-20th century). Dimensions: Total width: 368.8 cm (2 x 62.8 cm and 4 x 60.8 cm); Height: 174.1 cm. In a very good condition with some small restorations and minimal signs of wear consistent with age. Please refer to the photos for a detailed condition reference. The folding screen is ideally suited to be mounted flat on a wall and presented as a single, radiant work of art. When shipped, we will include a certificate of authenticity.
