This three-panel folding screen stands as an independent item of interior decoration, upholstered in fine Flemish verdure tapestry of wool and silk over a wood armature. The palette comprises rich shades of green, deep blue, and ochre, displaying a forest landscape with verdure foliage, mature trees, and classical garden architecture. Each panel is trimmed with closely spaced brass stud work along the vertical and horizontal borders, joined together by metal hinges. The structural elements are finished in gold-coloured metal highlights along the edges. Measuring 190 cm high and 152 cm wide across its three interconnected segments, the screen occupies a substantial floor footprint when extended. Placed within a drawing room, bedroom, or study, the piece divides spaces or creates intimate corners while adding historical texture and botanical imagery to contemporary residential interiors.

A Flemish verdure tapestry screen is a folding room divider upholstered with wool or silk textiles depicting detailed forest landscapes, foliage, and garden scenes. Originating in Flanders during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the term verdure derives from the French word for green, referring to the dominant botanical colour palette.

These screens were traditionally constructed using hand-woven tapestry panels made from wool and silk threads. The panels were mounted onto wooden internal frames and secured around the edges with decorative brass studs, gimp braid, or leather borders.

Authentic pieces feature dense hand-woven wool and silk construction, natural vegetable dye tonal variations, and subtle oxidisation or fading where blue pigments have turned to soft green over centuries. Hand-stitched lining on the reverse and subtle weave irregulars also distinguish genuine historical textiles from modern machine-woven reproductions.

A tapestry folding screen can be used to divide open-plan living spaces, create an acoustic buffer, or serve as a decorative textile backdrop behind a sofa or headboard. Combining rich historic textiles with contemporary neutral furnishings adds visual texture and architectural interest.

Keep the screen away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent thread embrittlement and fibre fading. Gently dust the surface using a low-suction vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush attachment through a fine mesh screen to protect delicate woven threads.
