FAQs

Originating as functional draft shields in European interiors, French folding screens evolved into decorative partitions featuring hinged timber panels often styled with fabric, gilding, or mirror inserts.

These screens typically feature gilded or painted timber frames, multi-panel glass or mirror panes, metal hinges, and woven textile or upholstered panels.

Authentic pieces often display signs of natural oxidisation on the mirror glass, hand-cut joinery, period-correct brass hinges, and subtle wear to the gilded or painted frame finish.

A mirrored folding screen can be placed in an empty corner, behind a bed as a headboard alternative, or positioned to subtly zone an open-plan living space while reflecting light.

Dust the wooden frame and textile panels regularly with a soft dry brush, clean the glass mirror with a damp microfibre cloth without saturating the frame, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources.
