Description
Genuine Gold Leaf Paired Six Panels Folding Screens Byobu Room Dividers VB132
A refined example of a genuine gold-leaf Japanese folding screen (Byōbu), this elegant six-panel work is finished in authentic gold leaf and distinguished by a subtle silk-weave pattern (silk weave pattern) that appears as a fine, textile-like texture across the luminous surface. The delicate grid of threads gives the gold a quiet depth and warmth, creating a radiance that feels calm and sophisticated rather than flashy. On the reverse remains the original label of Izutsu Hyōguten, located in Matsubara Kōjiyachō, Kyoto, a professional mounting studio active in the pre-war period, whose inscription proudly notes the handling of hanging scrolls, framed works, gold and silver screens, and other refined furnishings. The style of the label and mounting indicates a production dating to the Taishō to early Shōwa era (circa 1915–1935), a time when such gold screens were made for tea rooms, merchant houses, and distinguished interiors. The gold tone possesses the dignified, stable brilliance characteristic of genuine gold leaf rather than later metallic substitutes, and it responds beautifully to changing light throughout the day—its surface shifting from a soft morning glow to a deeper evening warmth, while the silk-weave pattern gently comes forward as the angle of light changes. The slim black lacquered frames and balanced proportions enhance its architectural presence while maintaining elegance and restraint. Set behind a sofa, beside a grand piano, or in a serene gallery corner, it will transform the atmosphere with quiet luxury and timeless Kyoto craftsmanship, offering not only a stunning backdrop for modern living but also a rare, collectible screen carrying the prestige of its maker’s label and the enduring beauty of true gold leaf.
