This spectacular, one-of-a-kind, 19th century wooden folding screen features painted red horses (with a bit of a folk art feel) on a black background. Front and back are painted with the same design, and it appears as though the original, long-ago color was red (as evidenced by paint chips to some edges and corners). The screen has three panels, each measuring 16 1/8" W x 70' H. Total width is 48 5/8".
This beautiful, unique piece is constructed of heavy, solid hardwood, and is very stable on a flat surface.
Interesting note: We suspect this screen is Indo-Persian in origin, however, it's interesting to note, in Chinese culture, the horse is considered to be an auspicious animal that represents good luck and success. It is also associated with heightened senses and courage, as well as a reminder to pursue your personal goals and objectives. The spiritual significance of the red horse is one of immense power and vibrancy. It is said to represent the physical embodiment of transformation and determination, providing the courage to fight for truth and justice.
In ancient China, horses were believed to be related to dragons and were highly regarded for their strong yang energy. Yang energy is fast, bright, and active, in contrast to yin energy which is slow, dark, and passive. Horses also represent the element of fire in the five element system, which is connected to fame, recognition, inspiration, and passion.
Horses can be placed in many parts of the home where you want to increase yang energy. Because they are very yang, it is best to place them in common areas like living rooms. They are especially good for business settings, offices, and other areas where you want to stimulate wealth and success. less
