France, 20th Century

$1,895

Antique Textile One-Of-A-Kind

Found in Montpellier, this early 20th-century French folding screen was made for the grand bedrooms of high-society France, where getting dressed for the evening was a ritual. A maid drew the curtains, and the lady of the house stepped behind a screen like this to change. The four panels are upholstered in mustard velvet with brass nailhead trim. The arched tops give the screen the silhouette of a small cathedral when it stands open. Sylvie places it behind a deep armchair in a corner of a bedroom, doing the same job it did a hundred years ago.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, this piece may show sun-faded color and a few loose threads. It’s all part of its age and character, just the way we like it. The piece is upholstered in velvet with a muslin backer and features brass hardware and handles. Width fully folded is 22 inches, and depth fully folded, including handles, is 7.25 inches.
