    [​IMG] [​IMG] Hello! I’m posting on behalf of a friend to try and find some info about this beautiful Chinese screen she found. It’s made of wood and stone, and all she knows is that it’s heavy! There is Chinese writing on the back that we presume is an artist, but we couldn’t find anything on Google. Any info anyone might have would be very much appreciated:) thanks!

    Welcome to the Forum, CatOnTheFiddle! :)
    I think you will need to give close up photos of the Stone in order to determine what stone it is.

    Welcome. I think I have seen this type of screen before. There were slices of stone, simply carved, affixed to a wood screen. Does that describe your screen? Can we see details of some of the stones?

    Welcome! When you are taking additional photos, include one of the entire back as well as where the signature or mark was found. Was it on an attached piece of paper? Almost looks like a paper backing. Thanks.

    I am unfortunately not an expert on Chinese art, I simply harass my Chinese co-workers for help with the identification:)

    However I will allow myself an observation, that 李國倫 is a name (name of the maker?) and that the screen was made to look old.

    Also, since which decade do we start to see such shiny stickers?80s?
