Summary[edit]

Description Imperial throne and three-fold screen. Rosewood with mother-of-pearl lacquer, gold and silver foil and coloured lacquer. Qing Dynasty. Formerly Collection of Fritz Löw-Beer, New York. Located at the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Berlin-Dahlem. The throne and the screen are from the imperial workshops in the beginning of the era of the Kangxi Emperor (1662-1722). The main theme of the decorations is the Taoist concept of the "Western Paradise", which is ruled by the "Queen Mother of the West" (Xiwangmu). The screen shows scenes of mountains, valleys, seas, terraces, lakes, and palaces. Shown is the arrival of the Queen Mother, who is shown riding a phoenix. The eight immortals are awaiting her arrival, they are shown on the screen and again on the throne itself.
