A very fine Antique Chinese Zitan carved table screen. Constructed with several connecting components, with an overarching crested top. Elaborately carved in detailed relief showing imperial dragons amongst tumultuous Li-shui waves. Fives rectangular borders entrap writhing dragons beneath a sea of hovering basilisks caressing several flaming pearls. The motif is displayed in elaborately carved hardwood, supported by a scrolled base. Smooth lustrous dense hardwood with dark purple-brown patina and feathery fine grain is composed into this work of art. The deep carving is expertly done in detail, giving a three-dimensional appearance. One of a kind table screen that is truly a pleasure to behold.

Dimensions: 24-1/4" H x 31-1/8" W
