此屏紋飾工藝繁而不亂，細緻堂皇。花朵盛放，自然逼真，邊沿戧金，使畫面有錦上添花之妙。康熙漆器工藝，承前朝之遺風，更瑧完美。戧金填漆工藝始於西漢，盛行於明朝嘉靖、萬曆年間。此工藝是先在漆地上陰刻紋飾，填入彩漆，在填好的花紋邊緣雕出細溝，再用戧金的做法勾勒花紋邊緣，屬於兩種工藝手法互相結合。戧金填漆工藝耗時費力，多用於製造小型工藝品或宮廷陳設品。

屏上所飾瓷器及花卉，工藝精湛，儘顯康熙朝漆匠之鬼斧神工。此類掛屏應為內府造辦處所作。康熙三十二年，造辦處設立作坊，以便皇帝親自授意及修改、參與設計並製作。作坊內薈萃全國各地的能工巧匠為宮廷皇家御用，製造頂級的宮廷御用工藝品及陳設用品。

雍正、乾隆年間同類掛屏作品繁多，然康熙朝作如鳳毛麟角，此乃傳世品中最早的掛屏之一。一對曾為大阪萬野美術館所藏康熙朝戧金填漆靠背椅，背板飾花鳥紋飾，售香港蘇富比2006年4月10日，編號1820；一戧金填漆龍紋六足香几，售倫敦蘇富比2011年11月9日，編號38；另一例戧金填漆寶座，曾為賽克勒收藏，售紐約佳士得1994年12月1日，編號173；再售香港佳士得2007年5月29日，編號1395。
