This six panel folding screen belongs to the Rococo style and dates from 1890. Constructed from painted wood and gesso with brass elements, the piece has a dark red finish complemented by gilt scrollwork borders, shaped cresting, classical urns, and cherub panels. Each of the six vertical panels is linked by hinges and displays hand-painted figural scenes framed by elaborate gilded cartouches, finished with arched crests at the top edges. The item measures 193 cm high, 373 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. In a contemporary home, such a folding screen is positioned directly on the floor to divide open-plan living areas, enclose a dressing space, or act as a decorative backdrop against a wall. The panels articulate to adjust the overall width and configuration depending on the space available in a room.

FAQs

Originating in ancient China, folding screens were introduced to European interiors in the seventeenth century to divide large rooms, reduce cold draughts, and create private dressing areas.

Traditional construction relies on solid wood framing overlaid with canvas, paper, or timber panels, finished with gesso prep coats, hand-painted pigments, and varnish or lacquer coatings.

Authentic period screens display age-appropriate craquelure in the paint surface, hand-cut brass hinges, structural joinery to the timber frames, and subtle variations in brushwork across individual panels.

A painted screen can serve as a dramatic focal point when unfolded against a plain wall, placed behind a headboard in a bedroom, or positioned to define distinct zones within open-plan spaces.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or feather duster, keep the screen away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent timber warping.
