The Art of Coromandel
The Coromandel lacquer technique emerged in the 16-th century, At first Coromandel technique was mainly used on large screens that usually consisted of twelve panels. Starting from the 18th century coromandel screens were made also as 10-, 8-, 6-, and 4-panel screens.

Coromandel screens usually stood in the entrance hall, but they also served to divide up large rooms or as windscreens in the garden or terrace. Often coromandel screens were used to close off sleeping or dressing areas. Smaller coromandel screens were placed behind a throne or a chair. Coromandel lacquered screens were usually made as birthday gifts for distinguished individuals, or as gifts to mark the retirement or promotion of high-ranking officials.

Wooden panels for coromandel screens are made from softwood and about 1cm thick. These panels act as a support for the Coromandel screens. Softwood is the most suitable base for coromandel screen creation, as it less subject to expansion or shrinkage than hardwood. Using traditional methods from the 16-th century China, craftsmen prepare wood screen panels by applying many layers of soft clay.

After applying multiple coats of lacquer, the artist carves his or her design into the hardened clay in both low and high relief. The carved screen design is than skillfully painted in soft traditional colors. Frequently gold and silver leaf is applied to highlight the background of coromandel screens.

Combining traditional styling with distinctively crafted elements this collection of decorative screens and room dividers is a tribute to artistic purity and functionality. In addition to decorative value of Coromandel screens, a decorative screens room dividers may serve many functional purposes
Original Coromandel Screens
Collection of hand-crafted folding Coromandel screens is a perfect blend between artistic expression and functional elegance. All coromandel screens are hand-made by the finest artisans in the Orient using traditional past on from generation to generation screens making techniques. The beauty you will bring in your home with stunning Coromandel screens will not only satisfy practical requirements that suit your lifestyle, but will touch your soul on a deeper, more expansive level.

A coromandel screen is a Chinese folding screen coated in black or dark lacquer. The dark background is richly decorated with painted scenes from life or literature, or landscapes, and a variety of trees, flowers, and birds. Wooden panels are coated with pale clay followed by several layers of lacquer. The design is carved into the lacquer before paint is applied to the underlying clay, creating a textured surface with recessed colour. Gold may also be used, and other characteristic touches include a border framing the main design, and calligraphy.
They are called coromandel screens because they used to be gathered into shipments with other Chinese arts and crafts bound for Europe at ports along the Coromandel Coast in south-eastern India, where several European nations had trading stations during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
There is sometimes confusion about the material used for these screens, since the name coromandel was also given to a kind of ebony imported into Europe from Asia during the 19th and early 20th centuries. However, coromandel screens are often made from quite different woods and need not be ebony, although black lacquer may give them the colour of ebony. Softwood is not unusual, like the pine used for a 17th century Ming dynasty screen, now in the Lilly Library at Duke University in North Carolina.
Chinese huali hardwood was used for an antique coromandel screen belonging to the Musée Guimet in Paris. (Huali is a kind of rosewood, from the species Dalbergia.) It seems that when the Encyclopaedia Britannica says that coromandel screens are made of ebony it is out of step with many authorities on antiques, as well as with the Oxford English Dictionary.
The coromandel technique of “incised lacquer” with colours added may sometimes be called “bantam work” after Bantam (Banten) in Java: another colonial European trading post exporting Asian arts and crafts. The decorative style in general is referred to as “coromandel lacquer”, and can be applied to items other than screens, although the Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts says that the large folding screens are the “best examples” of the art.
Twelve panels is not an unusual size for antique screens. A 300-year-old screen of this size fetched $56,000 at auction in September 2008. Two years earlier, a slightly older screen sold for $120,000.
