Pair Of A Magnificent Coromandel Inlaid Lacquer 2-Panel QING DYNASTY Period.
Descriptions: Comprising two wooden panels, each covered with layers of black lacquer and exceptionally inlaid with painted details and applied with gold and silver leaf and dust.
& History: the term 'coromandel' is a misnomer. 'Coromandel is a coastal region in the southeast of India. It was originally thought that these screens came from India, but in fact they come from southern China,' she explains. Today the term has become shorthand for the technique used to create them: the application of lacquer, in even layers, over a softwood core. Once the lacquer has been applied designs are carved into the screen's surface, and the recesses are filled in with coloured pigments to create vibrant scenes.

This beautiful 2- panel/screen is hand-painted and hand-lacquered, and made of heavy, durable Elm wood.
