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 add a refined decorative touch. The structure, made of dark mahogany, shows smooth lines and curved top edges—an aspect very typical of Victorian taste for friendly and slightly romantic silhouettes. The scalloped base, with its wavy profile, adds a touch of visual lightness and confirms the quality of the cabinetry work.
The panels are covered with decorative fabric featuring hunting motifs, highlighting Spanish greyhounds in countryside scenes, accompanied by trees and floral elements. The pattern, repeated harmoniously, provides a narrative and aristocratic air, evoking the fabrics used in salons and boudoirs of the era. The combination of the warmth of the mahogany and the matte softness of the silk creates an elegant, very Victorian contrast, turning the screen into a piece that is 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, difficult to find in this condition and with a textile motif as singular as that of the Spanish greyhounds.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
