Regency Pair of Tulipwood Marquetry Pole Screens

A rare pair of Regency tulipwood & satinwood marquetry polescreens, the serpentine shaped screens crossbanded in tulipwood and centred by beautiful marquetry floral sprays on an ebonised ground bordered by scrolling acanthus leaves. A brass ring attachment on the oak back allows the height of the screen to be easily adjusted on the upper section of the pole whilst the base of the pole is shaped and turned. The poles are set into stepped and reeded square platform bases supported on brass lion paw feet.

In good original condition, there is a small sliver of veneer missing from the bottom of one screen, the upper pole sections are rubbed so could do with some stain (we can do that), the bases have gathered marks over the years consistent with use and half a brass ‘spring’ is missing from the back of one but does not effect the use.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos, remember to include you email address.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
