Note:

This lot is located in Chicago, Illinois. The buyer will be responsible for shipping from our Chicago auction facility.

The screen is sturdy and usable but some of the panels need repair. Five of the eight panels are detached from their hinges for ease of moving. There is craquelure throughout the decorative panels and several of the panels have deeper cracks or breaks, several stabilized with tape, and some warping of the decorations. The panels are carved and polychromed composite material of some kind. Possibly not real lacquer. The frames have been later stained a darker stain and some areas of stain were wiped onto panels.
