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 soft lines and curved onlays at the top, a detail very typical of Victorian taste for gentle and slightly romantic silhouettes. The cut base, with its wavy profile, adds a touch of visual lightness and confirms the quality of the craftsmanship.
The panels are veneered with decorative hunting-themed silk, featuring Spanish greyhounds in countryside scenes, accompanied by trees and floral elements. The pattern, repeated in harmony, lends a narrative and aristocratic air, evoking fabrics used in salons and boudoirs of the era. The combination of the warmth of mahogany and the matte soft silk creates an elegant, very Victorian contrast that makes the screen both functional and ornamental.
Overall, it is a screen with 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 unique as that of the Spanish greyhounds.
Insured shipping and good packaging.
