Ornate antique Chinese four panel screen featuring an idyllic ornamental garden scene with hand crafted high quality jade and semi precious stone figures around a pavilion set on a black lacquer background with gilt and silver border highlights. Groups of traditionally clothed female courtesans/figures with a wise woman standing in front of the Jade Pavilion, carriages and jade trees surround the scene. The reverse is decorated with simple hand painted gold foliage of four traditional styles - blossoms & bamboo. The level of work in older screens is far superior to that of ones made more recently.
