Century Japanese Screen |

|
| It
is not known when this embroidery entered the Deere-Wiman collections.
It may have been purchased either by the Charles Deere family or the Charles
Deere-Wiman family. Records show that members of both families traveled
to the Orient and purchased oriental art through art dealers. The
screen illustrates a beautifully stitched landscape with bamboo growing
along a stream which is populated by graceful birds. Japanese screens,
like porcelain, were popular collectors' items at the time. |
