Description

An absolutely magnificent antique French painted gilt wood screen. This was made in France, it dates from around the 1880-1900 period.

It is of the utmost quality, with intricate and profuse carving throughout. There are carved dragons, dolphins at the base, floral and acanthus leaf carving, cornucopias and at the top, a cherub playing a lute. The front three panels have stunning original oil paintings depicting family life in the countryside, there is a clear glass panel at the top of each section. The reverse lower panels are upholstered in cream silk, with rope twist piping around the edges.

We have had the gilt work cleaned and revived, the panels have been re-upholstered. The condition is excellent for its age.

FAQs

French Rococo screens gained prominence during the 18th century, influenced by the ornate aesthetics of the Louis XV period, characterised by asymmetrical curves, naturalistic motifs, and pastoral scenes.

These pieces typically utilise carved timber frames treated with gesso and gold leaf gilding, housing painted canvas panels or decorated wooden inserts joined by traditional hinges.

Authentic items exhibit hand-carving details, period-appropriate joinery, natural wear to the gold leaf and gesso, and hand-painted artistry rather than modern prints.

A decorative screen can be positioned against a plain wall to introduce texture, metallic warmth, and historic contrast to contemporary minimalist or transitional spaces.

Maintenance requires keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, dusting gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoiding chemical polishes that can damage the delicate gold leaf.
