Description from the seller
It is a Victorian mahogany screen that preserves all the domestic elegance of the 19th century, when these panels were used both to divide spaces and to provide a refined decorative touch. The structure, made in dark mahogany, shows smooth lines and curved finials at the top, a detail very typical of Victorian taste for friendly and slightly romantic silhouettes. The cut base, with its wavy profile, adds a touch of visual lightness and confirms the quality of the cabinet work.
The panels are covered with a decorative silk with hunting motifs, where Spanish greyhounds stand out in field scenes, accompanied by trees and floral elements. The pattern, repeated in harmony, lends a narrative and aristocratic air, evoking the fabrics used in salons and boudoirs of the era. The combination between the warmth of the mahogany and the soft matte silk creates an elegant, very Victorian contrast, turning the screen into a piece both functional and ornamental.
Overall, it is a screen with a serene and distinguished presence, perfect for an interior that values craftsmanship, history, and the beauty of noble materials. A piece with character, hard to find in this condition and with a textile motif as singular as that of the Spanish greyhounds.
Certified shipping and good packing.
