Set against a deep black lacquer ground, the front is richly adorned with finely painted birds perched amongst flowering branches, peonies, and stylised rockwork. The composition flows elegantly across all four panels, creating a continuous garden scene filled with movement and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vivid palette—turquoise blues, soft pinks, jade greens, and warm yellows—contrasts dramatically with the dark background, giving the piece a strong visual presence. Birds, often symbolic of harmony and happiness in Chinese art, are depicted in graceful poses, while blossoming branches evoke themes of renewal and prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse offers a more understated aesthetic, featuring delicate gilt line drawings of birds, foliage, and natural forms. This subtle decoration allows the screen to work equally well in a quieter interior setting or when viewed from either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA highly versatile decorative piece, perfect as a room divider or as a statement backdrop, blending traditional Chinese artistic language with a more modern, mid-century decorative appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood with black lacquer and hand-painted decoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four-fold screen with continuous bird and blossom landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Birds, peonies, flowering branches, and garden elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gilt line drawings of birds and floral motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good vintage condition with minor age-related wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W145 x D2.4 x H83 cm approx\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePer Panel: \u003c\/strong\u003eW40 x D2.5 x H83\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Indigo Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57350493929855,"sku":"M1104","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0217\/2522\/files\/Vintage_Chinese_Lacquer_Screen_with_Birds_Blossom_M1104.jpg?v=1777458712","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo-uk.com\/products\/vintage-chinese-lacquer-screen-with-birds-blossom","provider":"Indigo Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
