A set of four Japanese lacquer framed screen panels believed to have been crafted 1850-1880 (Late Edo to early Meiji period). The panels are inset with exquisite hand embroidered silk-work landscape scenery, the bottom section of each is inset with a gilded wood panel. These would originally have formed a four panel folding screen (known as byobu) but have been separated and fitted with small brass hanging hoops. Each screen is inset with a pure silk backing which in some instances has torn to reveal Japanese script on washi paper. The script appears to be in kanji calligraphy and details the materials, construction notes, detail annotations and measurements which have been stamped with the red seal of the master craftsman or workshop to indicate the authenticity.
These extraordinary antique pieces do show significant areas of damage in the form of tears to the delicate silk work however they are still highly decorative and look stunning hung on a wall.
Each screen is:
Height - 160.5cm
Width - 64.5cm
Depth - 3cm
