Impressive & large eight panel black antique Coromandel Room Divider - with carved polychrome decoration of an outdoor genre scene with its inhabitants gathering to study the arts in their garden pavilions. Bordered by auspicious oriental objects, such as flowers and dragons, with marshland birds and plants on verso. The theme of the scene is very thoughtful and well laid out. These large screens make an ideal backdrop in living spaces.
When light catches the finish it shows the rich lustre of the colours and the thoughtful detail of the work. The whole stands on brass capped feet or sabots.
The last 2 photographs are the back of the screen.
Wear consistent with age and normal use - chips on the sides/base as expected. Otherwise this 20th Century piece is in good condition. Estimated to be early 20th. Century.
Each panel is 84"H x 15.75"W.

Further reading: Coromandel lacquer is a type of Chinese lacquerware made for export mainly. It was shipped to European markets via the Coromandel coast of south-east India, where the Dutch East Indies Company and its rivals from a number of European powers had bases in the 18th century. The most common type of object made in the style, both for Chinese domestic use and exports was the Coromandel screen, a large folding screen with as many as twelve leaves, coated in black lacquer with large pictures using the kuan cai (literally "incised colors") technique, sometimes combined with mother of pearl inlays. Other pieces made include chests and panels less
