FAQs

Victorian folding screens gained immense popularity in 19th-century Britain, evolving from utilitarian draught-excluders into elaborate decorative objects used to partition rooms or shield occupants from fireplace heat.

These pieces typically feature a solid hardwood frame, such as walnut or mahogany, joined with mortise and tenon techniques, housing textile panels secured with brass hardware and hinges.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber patina, hand-stitched needlework or silk embroidery details, traditional joinery, and period-appropriate brass hinges and fixings.

An antique screen functions effectively as a focal point against a neutral wall, a subtle room divider in an open-plan space, or a decorative backdrop behind low-profile furniture.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, and dusting the wooden frame with a soft, dry cloth.
