Table screen China

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present to you an exceptionally finely crafted Chinese table screen from old family ownership. CHINESE table screen from the late Ming to early Qing period, The table screen is made of darkly lacquered wood and is on both the front and back fully inlaid with colorful iridescent mother-of-pearl. Both sides depict different garden and pavilion scenes with numerous figures. The pierced frame and the curved base are also richly adorned with very intricate mother-of-pearl work. Dimensions: approximately 48 cm high × 42 cm wide × 14 cm deep. Provenance: old family property of the Gottschalk family, on the maternal side. The piece comes from the estate of my great-grandparents and has been passed down within the family for several generations. The mother-of-pearl inlays are completely intact; I am not aware of any missing or damaged inlays. On one side the lacquer ground shows age- and light-induced cracks with small mother-of-pearl irregularities or craquelure. The table screen remains in its unrestored original condition.
