Lot 141 JAPANESE TWO-PANEL LACQUERED TEA CEREMONY SCREEN 20TH CENTURY – MAKI-E GOLD AND SILVER DESIGN

Reference: ART2002311

This exquisite Japanese lacquered tea ceremony screen features a serene riverside scene rendered in luxurious maki-e (gold and silver sprinkled lacquer technique). One panel depicts a moored boat gently tied to the riverbank under the arching branch of a pine tree, symbolizing tranquility and stillness. The other panel features a single, vibrant bird in flight, enhancing the sense of quiet natural beauty and movement.
The deep black lacquer surface offers dramatic contrast to the warm gold hues, with finely detailed textures on the boat, rope, pine needles, and distant grasses. Elegant, contemplative, and masterfully executed, this screen is a superb example of Japanese craftsmanship intended for the refined setting of a traditional tea ceremony 122 by 105 cm.
