An antique folding screen


I got this 60"x36" beautiful folding screen at a neighbor's garage sale down the street when I lived in NJ. It is an antique Chinese painting in very good condition. It was framed using a high quality traditional frame technique that you no longer can find today. I believe it was created sometime between 1920~1945. My neighbor told me that it belonged to her father who was an American spy during the WWII and had sadly passed away. It was a gift from a Chinese governor of Zhejiang province at that time. The governor painted it himself. I paid $15 for it! What a steal!
