AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Transform any room with this magnificent four-panel folding screen, featuring a panoramic hand-painted landscape. This piece evokes the grandeur of an 18th-century French salon, depicting a romanticized neoclassical vista with lush trees, ancient ruins, and figures by a riverside.
With its warm ochre, sienna, and deep green palette, this screen adds incredible depth, texture, and a sense of history to both traditional and modern eclectic interiors.
Artistry: A continuous, hand-painted pastoral scene spanning all four panels.
Design: Features a classic trompe-l'œil border with deep red and forest green faux-panelling at the base.
Construction: Sturdy folding panels with high-quality hinges (allowing for various display angles).
Versatility: Perfect as a dramatic backdrop behind a sofa, a headboard alternative, or to elegantly section off a studio space.
Condition Report
This is an authentic vintage/antique item with a beautiful, aged "crackle" glaze and patina:
Surface: There is some light surface wear, minor scuffs to the edges, and small areas of paint loss consistent with age, which only add to its period charm.
Structural: The panels are in good working order.
Dimensions 200 x 200 cm
