Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1910s:
Iron butt hinges with slotted screws: early twentieth-century fittings.
Hand-painted panels with fine craquelure: old pigments bound on solid timber.
Hand-cut pierced jali fretwork: traditional workshop carving before modern laser cutting.
Oxidised wood and rubbed high points: natural aging from handling.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This four-fold room divider screen is an Anglo-Indian piece dating from circa 1910. The construction employs dark brown hardwood finished with paint and brass, taking the form of a four-panel folding design with arched tops, fretwork lattice panels, and hand-painted romantic figures set within decorative borders. The visual details comprise contrasting orange, green, and cream painted panels, fine linear inlay, and detailed fretwork carving. Measuring 182 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 2 cm deep when closed, it is built to divide spaces or frame an empty corner. Positioned in a contemporary home, this screen is suited to a living room, bedroom, or dressing area to section off spaces or introduce architectural texture. The panels operate on hinges, allowing the unit to stand in a zig-zag configuration to create privacy or soften a bare wall. The surface shows original unrestored condition with signs of age and natural wear across the timber and painted sections. The piece is placed directly on the floor during use.

FAQs

Indian fretwork folding screens, incorporating detailed jali lattice carving and miniature paintings, were crafted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for both regional interiors and European export markets.

These screens are primarily crafted from dense native hardwoods such as teak, rosewood, or shisham, featuring pierced latticework and hand-painted wooden inserts.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-chiselled fretwork geometry, natural timber wear, original metal hinges, and hand-painted figure artwork rather than modern mass-produced transfers.

A carved screen is frequently positioned flat against a plain wall as artwork, placed in an empty corner to add architectural depth, or used as a functional space divider in open-plan rooms.

Dust the detailed pierced fretwork using a soft, dry natural brush. Keep the screen away from direct heat sources to prevent timber cracking, and avoid using liquid cleaners on painted areas.
