Ahlers & Ogletree’s Upcoming Auction Spotlights Asian Decorative Art

During the Han dynasty, Chinese panel screens helped block chilly winds. However, with time, they became highly decorative as well as functional. Panel screens are today known as one of the most renowned Chinese decorative art forms. Ahlers & Ogletree’s upcoming Autumn Fine Estates & Collections sale of Asian decorative art presents a Chinese ten-panel carved wood screen. The panels depict a court scene at the center and figural scholar scenes at each end.
