The two jade screens are in overall good condition. Some of the inlaids are likely to be replaced, including a small section of one prunus tree branch and a small section of a prunus petal on one screen, as well as one of the two chrysanthemum flower heads on the reverse near the bottom of the screen, but overall these have been extremely well preserved. The stands are in overall good condition. One of the stand branches has been detached and re-affixed with few minute associated chips at the joint. Overall the screens are in excellent presentation state.
