Antique Furniture |
|
 Each week we highlight a new and interesting
piece of antique Chinese furniture!
Large Chinese Four Panel Screen with Inset Stone
Chinese folding screens, which served originally
as partitions painted with serious works, were not intended
to be moved around fre¬quently. As with most Asian
things there is symbolism in everything in the painting.
For instance this crane stands for long life because
of their long necks, the plum tree in the painting is
first to flower, and therefore symbolizes new beginning
and fertility.
