Vintage Miniature Asian 4 Panel Screen Mother of Pearl Inlay include Brocade Box For Sale

Yes. Mother-of-pearl inlay is a significant selling point and should absolutely be in the title and near the top of the description. I’d revise it to:

Vintage Asian Miniature 4 Panel Screen Mother of Pearl Inlay Original Box

An exquisite vintage miniature four-panel Asian folding screen featuring intricate mother-of-pearl inlay, complete with its original fitted brocade presentation/storage box and from the personal collection of noted miniatures collector Pitt Ginsburg.

The deep reddish-brown wood provides a dramatic background for the delicate mother-of-pearl inlaid decoration, which depicts an assortment of traditional Asian-inspired scenes including figures, birds, flowering branches, foliage and blossoms. The natural iridescence of the mother-of-pearl gives the tiny designs a wonderful luminosity that changes subtly as the screen catches the light.

Each panel is framed with a fine gold-tone border, and the four sections are joined with tiny metal hinges, allowing the screen to be positioned at different angles for display.

An especially desirable feature is the survival of the original fitted fabric-covered case. The ornate blue-and-gold brocade-style textile beautifully complements the screen and makes the complete grouping particularly attractive for display and collecting.

Because mother-of-pearl inlay can be exceptionally delicate, please examine the photographs closely for the condition and completeness of the individual inlaid elements.

Measurements: Approx. 6 1/2\" wide x 6\" tall

The screen will be carefully protected before being placed with its original case, with special attention given to the mother-of-pearl inlay, miniature hinges and feet. The entire set will then be securely cushioned for shipment.
