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.
