Antique Napoleon III Painted Three-Fold Room Screen c.1860
A Napoleon III distressed painted three-fold room screen of Louis XV design, the deeply carved frames surrounding the double-sided panels upholstered to the front in gold bee motif silk with gold braid, and to the reverse in a fine-striped neutral textile with a coordinating cream braid, the whole articulated by original two-way hinges.
Providing spatial division and draught exclusion without blocking natural light, the double-sided upholstery and the infinite articulation of the original two-way hinges make it an elegant choice to float behind a drawing room sofa, dress an empty corner or partition a principal bedroom.
Very good antique condition, the painted frame displaying a well-matured patination and minor historic losses to the carved sections, and the pure silk upholstery remaining exceptionally clean and taut. Structurally sound and ready to place in the home.
French, circa 1860.
