A French chateau style three-fold room divider dates from 1870. The piece is constructed from giltwood with bevelled glass and silk panels, presenting a warm original gilt finish in gold and beige alongside blue-green vertical stripes within the floral silk pattern. Each of the three serpentine-outlined panels has a shaped bevelled glass upper section and a fabric lower section framed by finely moulded giltwood with delicate Rococo-inspired detailing and carved cresting at the top. The hinges allow the sections to fold for storage. Measuring 164 cm high, 158 cm wide and 53 cm deep, the screen is presented in good antique condition with minor age-related wear. It functions effectively as a room divider, dressing screen or decorative feature in a home today, making an elegant addition to a bedroom, drawing room or boutique interior where light passes through the upper glass while the lower silk panels provide privacy and decoration.

FAQs

A three-fold screen, or paravant, is an articulated room divider that gained popularity in French interiors to create privacy, control light, and shield room occupants from draughts.

These pieces were constructed with carved timber frames finished in hand-applied gold leaf, incorporating glass upper panes and woven silk or damask lower textile panels.

Authentic period screens display hand-carved frame joinery, genuine bevelled glass edges, original brass hinges, and natural wear showing the clay bole layer beneath the gold leaf.

Position the screen partially folded in a room corner to add visual height, use it as an upholstered backdrop behind seating, or place it near windows to capture natural light.

Dust the gilded surfaces gently with a soft dry brush, clean the glass panels with a microfibre cloth, and position the screen away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading.
