Persian Style Folding Room Screen

1920 - 1940
Description

A large three fold room divider screen. Beautifully embroidered in still vibrant coloured thread, depicting a Persian style hunting scene with horseman, deer, rabbits… and a fearsome dragon for good measure.

A similar design, described as a “Persian Fantasy” and featuring a mixture of Middle Eastern and Asian motifs, appears in the March 1934 issue of The Needlewoman magazine, and also within the collection of the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey, England.

Well worn, with a couple of minor barely noticeable tears and slight staining to the base of one panel, but a lovely decorative English country house piece.

Early 1930s.

Please enquire for delivery cost.

FAQs

Folding room screens originated in ancient China before spreading throughout East Asia and Europe via trade routes. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, European makers frequently produced screens featuring Persian, Ottoman, and East Asian embroidered pictorial motifs to satisfy demand for Orientalist interior decor.

Traditional textile screens typically feature solid wood frames, such as oak or mahogany, stretched with heavy linen, canvas, or cotton fabric. The decorative panels are embellished with silk or wool embroidery threads and secured around the edges with brass upholstery tacks or decorative braid.

Authentic period screens display hand-stitched needlework on natural fiber backings, showing slight irregularities in thread tension and motif execution. Inspection of the reverse side often reveals hand-knotted threads, original brass hinges with aged patina, and traditional tacks rather than modern staples.

A pictorial screen can be positioned in a living area or bedroom as an articulated partition, or placed flat against a expansive wall as a textile backdrop. Positioning the screen near a reading chair or in an empty corner adds textural contrast and visual depth to contemporary spaces.

Dust textile panels regularly using a soft brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum cleaner, taking care not to snag threadwork. Keep the screen away from direct sunlight and high moisture to prevent fading of dyes and warping of the timber frame.
