A striking 19th-century French four-panel folding screen, hand-painted with romantic figural medallions suspended from ribbon bows, framed by classical Greek key borders. The lower panels are decorated with delicate floral swags against a deep charcoal ground. The reverse is equally decorative, painted in warm ochre with stylized urns, flowers and repeating geometric motifs. Original iron hinges and beautifully aged painted surfaces. Use it as it was originally intended, as a screen, or create a unique headboard or spectacular wall hanging.
Dimensions:
102" L x 1" D x 68" H
Each panel measures approximately 26" W.
Age-related wear throughout, including fading, rubbing, paint loss and areas of separation consistent with its 19th-century age and use. One rear panel shows a splintered frame, and another rear panel shows signs of a later patch applied to the canvas.
