How do I clean antique leather panels?

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface particles without disturbing aged paint or gilt surfaces. Avoid modern chemical cleaners and water, which can damage historic leather and brittle oil paint. Consult a professional restorer if the leather requires conditioning or if the painted surface shows signs of flaking.

Where were these screens used originally?

Large multi-fold screens divided grand rooms, creating intimate seating areas or blocking draughts in high-ceilinged country houses and drawing rooms. Smaller panels were incorporated into desks, cabinets, and seating. They functioned as both moveable architecture and decorative art in Victorian and earlier interiors.

How many folds do these screens have?

The screens listed here typically feature three or four folding sections, hinged together for flexibility in positioning. Larger four-fold versions provide substantial visual impact and wide coverage for room division.
