Description
This solid wood screen, seen here in our red lacquer, are decorated by hand with gold leaf and paintings of dancing butterflies. For the Chinese the butterfly is a symbol of joy and marital happiness. It is often seen on the paintings used to decorate antique cabinets and chests dating back hundreds of years - particularly on the painted furniture of Shanxi province. The screen is decorated on both sides, with a thin border around each panel in gold leaf. Also available in black lacquer. Other colours can be made to order.
