Coromandel Screen

A Coromandel screen is a collapsible screen made up of several panels of wood covered in black lacquer and often with representations of Chinese daily life or landscape motifs, often using gold as the main color for painting, as well as adherence of semiprecious stones like jade.It is estimated that the first Coromandel screens began to be made in Northern China during the Qing Dynasty.

Despite being part of the Chinese culture, the name comes from the coast of Coromandel, in India, where Chinese screens and other pieces of art were shipped on ships carrying goods to Europe, arriving the first screens at the end of the 17th century. Notes and
