Description Dealer said he purchased this screen from the estate of a former head of the U.S. legation who was in China during the 1930's. Decoration consists of four glazed panels over a continuous painted (presumably watercolor) landscape depicting pandas at play. Various "chops" on one panel screen none of which have been identified to date. Because of its size, and particularly because of the glazing, the screen is heavy. The two panels brought together are approximately six feet high and eight feet wide. I will be happy to discuss shipping option with purchaser or arrange for pick-up at my residence. Detailed photos available upon request. Please provide your email address.
