Six-Panel Chaekkori Screen. Old Chaekkori (Korean Scholar's Items Screen) like this are rare. This is the oldest Chaekkori that we have ever offered for sale. Chaekkori, screens depicting books and scholar's items, are abundant with symbols of diligence, motivation, good fortune and virtue. Chaekkori Screens are uniquely Korean, despite the fact that many of the items depicted in a Chaekkori are Chinese. The Choson Dynasty Korean scholar had much respect for Chinese art and learning, but expressed that admiration in a uniquely Korean manner through Chaekkori. We see items here that indicate refined comfort, but more important than the sense of gentility that is conveyed, is the ideal of self-improvement to which everyone could aspire: rich or poor, young or old. Though the items depicted were not readily available to the poor, the Chaekkori could inspire them nonetheless. Adults enjoyed them, but they would also be placed in children's rooms to teach them the value and beauty of culture and learning. French artists as early as the 1880's saw ideas in this genre that they imported into their own art. 106 x 73 inches, 269 x 185.5 cm.

Rare 18th Century Korean Folk Painting of a Falcon over a Home in the Mountains. This sublime and rare work of art has a gorgeously aged patina that adds to the mystery of the beautiful composition of a falcon perched high in a tree peering down on a solitary house in the woods along a mountain road. In Korea, the falcon is a talisman that dispels evil. Here he watches over and protects the home. Ink on paper. Frame: 36.5h x 19.75w inches, 93h x 50w cm; Painting: 23.75h x 12.5w inches, 60.5h x 32w cm.

This Old Korean Tiger Hunting Screen would have been displayed in a military officers' conference room or an officer's home. In spite of the Mongols' brutal occupation of Korea in the 13th Century, Koreans maintained great admiration for Mongolian hunting and equestrian skills, as shown by this Korean screen of Mongolians hunting deer, boar, and tiger (Koreans painted tigers with stripes and with spots). This screen is special because the landscape, unlike other Korean hunting screens, is not the barren plain, sandy-hilled landscape of Mongolia. It is actually a specific and beautifully rendered mountain range in Seoul, Korea: In Wang San. We are limited to 6 photos on this site, so if you'd like to see a photo of the dated inscription on the back, please email us. Display options with this screen are very flexible. It is mounted so that it may be hung from the wall, or sit on the floor, or sit on a table top. 56 x 34.5 inches, 142 x 88 cm.
