Subject:Mini Japanese folding Screen
Posted By: Chanel Drake Mon, Jun 09, 2008 IP: 69.14.115.188
I have a mini Asian 4 panel folding screen.Could some one tell me if they know the value of it. I'm enclosing a pic of it.
I saw it on the site listed below. It's catalogue ID is: jap-screen-27x7c
But I can't get any info on it.

A mini Japanese partition with glass embedded artwork.
Dimension: 6.5"H x 10.5"W

Chanel,

The preferred material for a miniature screen for the scholar's table would be the traditional ones: painting or calligraphy on paper or silk, or hardstone carvings.

Type screen you show would be recent made for tourist/curio trade, restaurant decoration or for very poor scholar indeed.

Good luck,
Cal
