Overall, the screen is in good condition. Most Japanese screens have some restoration by the nature of their use being opened and closed repeatedly. There is some wear around the hinges consistent with age and use, each panel with some slight toning and soiling in places, there are a few light surface marks to each panel, some small paper losses with associated repairs, minor rubbing to the seal, some repairs around the hinges as is typical.

If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.
