The butterfly is a symbol in China both of long life and of joy and marital happiness. It was used to decorate all types of furniture, particularly the painted cabinets of Shanxi province. This beautiful screen is gilded and hand painted on both sides, matching perfectly our own Shanxi style cabinets.
Part of our Classical Chinese furniture range, handcrafted from reclaimed elm wood and available in a choice of red or black lacquer with hand painted decoration. Other colours, sizes and designs can be made to order. Love this item? Add it to mydeco.
