Description

This is an incredible Set of Four American Black Walnut and Fiberglass Shoji-Style Sliding Screens or Panels, having details that are consistent with works produced by George Nakashima’s Studio in the 1960s. The pieces were most recently purchased from WYETH in 2004 for $16,000, and the original receipt from this transaction will be included with this sale. These sliding panel doors are also often referred to as Shoin Screens, as derived from Japanese etymology.
The panels are not marked or labelled as far as we can tell, and therefore we are unable to concretely determine if Nakashima was indeed the maker. For now, they are offered as being “attributed to” Mr. Nakashima.

Each screen measures inches deep, inches wide, and inches high. The fiberglass background insert has just the slightest hint of yellowing to the surface, and there are some light nicks and scratches on the walnut. There are no holes in the fiberglass. Overall, this set of panels is in very good condition. Please see photos.

What should I expect when ordering an item with lead time?

Estimated lead times are shown under "Delivery", above. Read our shipping policy to learn more.

Lead times are estimated based on previous production times from our manufacturing partners, but lead times can change depending on availability and circumstances outside of Rarify's control.

For example: if purchasing an imported or made-to-order product, international shipping and import times depend on many factors. This includes US customs operations, global trade circumstances, and production facilities in other countries.

We will try to fulfill your order as quickly as possible. Our international freight forwarding partners help to take burden off of you during the process of importing; we appreciate your patience while your order is fulfilled.

Purchasing made-to-order is one of the most responsible ways to purchase, as it helps prevent furniture waste on our planet.

Vintage items are typically in-stock in the USA and ready to ship once purchased.

Do you deliver to NYC?

Yes, in-stock items can often be delivered to NYC quickly by our skilled couriers. Pieces are delivered by hand to your residence. This typically takes 1-2 weeks for items stocked at our warehouse in PA.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
