Japanese Rimpa Two-Panel Screen With Chrysanthemums And Silver Twig Fence, Late 19th Century
Chairish$9,775
This elegant late 19th-century Japanese two-panel screen features a graceful arrangement of blooming chrysanthemums rising behind a sculptural twig fence rendered in raised silvered gofun. Executed in the Rimpa style, the composition celebrates one of Japan's most beloved autumn flowers, combining refined naturalism with the school's hallmark use of decorative space and luminous surfaces. Mineral pigments on paper are set against an all-over gold dust ground, creating a subtle shimmer that beautifully complements the silver fence and richly layered floral forms. Finished with a silk brocade border, the screen is presented in very good condition and embodies the timeless elegance of Japanese decorative painting.
