One side shows two majestic dragons playing with a ball in the sky — 双龙戏珠, double dragon play ball, a motif Chinese artists have returned to in painting, carving and architecture for centuries. The reverse carries a denser design of multiple dragons and heavier gilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt roughly 22 inches wide and 106 inches tall each, these are architectural in scale. Left open they are a screen of carved line and gold; stretched with a light fabric of your own choosing they become a solid room divider. Either way, both sides are finished, so there is no wrong way to place them in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly 20th century, China · item no.

Anchor or brace a standing arrangement, keep them out of direct sun and away from damp, and dust with a soft dry brush so the gilding is not rubbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eSet details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d2c6;padding:8px\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d2c6;padding:8px\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eItem no.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eDR2214\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eEarly 20th century\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eSet of 4 panels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eApprox. 22.0\"W x 1.5\"D x 106.0\"H each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eWood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eBlack, gold, multicolour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #eee;padding:8px\"\u003eGood.
