Description
A large, fabulous, antique Chinese four-section, heavy (screen weighs 35 pounds), decorative brass trimmed, exceptionally detailed and skilled painting on brass bracketed, hinged, thick solid wood panels, of 9th Century artist Gu Hongzhong's "Night Revels of Han Xizai," with inscription in traditional Chinese (not post-1950s lettering), and artists 'chop' signature. Unfolded, the screen measures 73" length X 38" height X 3/4" thick. Hinges and decorative corner brackets are age-patina brass. The painting is VERY well done by a talented period artist, though we do not know the artist's name (unless it is within the red 'chop' signature pictured). One small area of the lettering (far right; see photo) has a minor rub, though the letter is legible. Too, there are light waterstains incidentally (see closeups). We are guessing that this screen was possibly a 1920s grand tour souvenir, certainly not recent -- and could be much earlier (though an expert could say).Price reduced from 0 to 5. Need to sell. Reasonable offers considered. Thank you for looking.
