The ivory screens is in very good condition and appears to be perfectly intact. The piece is signed and dated twice, once in the lower left edge of the screen, and a second time to the stem.
One small leave appears to be missing to the stem and a few minor chips to the edges of the foot.
Very rare and attractive ivory which can be recommended.
