Thank you for contacting Mearto. This is a Chinese table screen, which could have been used as a decorative piece or to block wind in front of a window. It was likely made in the late Qing Dynasty (19th century).

It is likely made of carved mahogany. There are 18 ivory panels. They look almost like tiles for a game(?). I haven't been able to discover any real context for the panels. They could just be decorative, but they seem odd. Here are the translations of the Chinese characters:

秀才 xiùcai Scholar
一 幼 yīyòu first child
二 幼 èryòu second child
文人 wénrén Scholar
主 zhǔ lord/master

There is some damage to the piece, cracking in the wood and missing part of the base, and this will affect the price. Based on sales of similar items, the Fair Market Value of this piece is between $100 and $150.
