Dear Harvey,
Your room divider is of good quality. I am an expert on Asian antiques and not so familiar with modern items but I will give my best idea. The room divider is made of wood. lacquer and mother of pearl and is of high quality. All details are well done and the condition is very good. Found a piece quite similar with almost same quality and a little older and it was auctioned for a very disappointing price :

I believe that is not a fair and realistic price but it gives a clue about the market I believe.
I think if you brought this item to a sale or auction it would fetch a price around the estimate.
