275080-081 - Beijing - Early 20th C.
The
intricate carvings on the window screens makes them an exquisite hanging.
Nowadays forbidden to export in many Chinese provinces because they have become
harder to find. The open space in the screens was to create a breeze in the
house and the carvings protected insects coming in. Some panels could open,
others were fixed. Screens as tall as these may have been from inside of the
house where they made a separation between two rooms.
Some parts
may have been replaced during restorations.
