Description from the seller
Luigi XIV Renaissance Folding Screen in Olive Wood with Inlays
Antique and elegant folding screen from the late 17th century, made in highly prized olive wood entirely veneered with refined ebony inlays with black threadings that highlight profiles and geometric mirror panels.
The front features three large bombe drawers of notable elegance, embellished with finely worked metal handles and fittings. The fall-front, also curvy and shaped, hides an interior of great charm with small drawers and document compartments, as well as a writing surface veneered in olive wood with a splendid flame figure.
The sides are decorated with large geometric inlays in a herringbone pattern and ebonised frames, while the shaped base rests on contoured feet that give impetus and harmony to the whole. The interior preserves period paper linings and original hardware, elements that attest to its authenticity and historicity.
A piece with strong presence, ideal for historic interiors, representative studies, or prestigious residences.
