QING DYNASTY TABLE SCREEN

One of the earliest objects that I bought when I first started collecting Asian antiques, before I became a dealer.  Made of carved rosewood, with a dreamstone of Dali marble.  19.5 inches tall, 13 inches wide.  The screen lifts off the stand.  This is a one sided screen, meant to face outward from a wall.  These screens are both decorative and act as a point of contemplation.  I think this is a particularly nice stone, which spurs the imagination.
