Beautiful design with peony flowers, lively birds and playful butterflies is

the folding screen has a unique composition painted inside the
raised wood trim. Wood trim is finished in antiqued gold and elegantly framing

black finish. Beautiful peony flowers are pained with precise details. Peony
flowers masterfully depicted on this folding screen have oriental
origins. The bush peony, the type of flowers most often found in western
gardens, rarely figures in oriental art or poetry. Instead, the peony tree,
widely cultivated in China and Japan, is very popular motif that is gained
prominence in decorative painting and applied arts. The peony been valued for
its medicinal properties (the skin of its root being used to treat illnesses
related to blood circulation and fiver) as well as for stunning beauty of full
flowers. Because of the powerful combination of healing qualities and esthetical
value this gorgeous plant get titled as The king of flowers. Each panel of this
decorative screen has several butterflies included in the
composition. Oriental culture views butterflies as souls of the living and
the dead as well as symbols of joy and longevity. Introduced as a design motif
by the Chinese, butterflies have enjoyed widespread popularity in decorative
painting on screens, room dividers and other home furnishings for centuries.
Dynamic composition suggestive of movement and gives a rhythm to the overall
design. Each flower petal, each scrolled leaf is masterfully captured by artists
eye and realistically depicted for us to enjoy this melody of flower for many
years to come. This folding screen is imported by Decorative Crafts, Inc
