Decorative three panel gilt wood screen
Price on enquiry£550
A luxurious and highly decorative three‑panel giltwood screen, likely late 19th century, combining richly embroidered silk with mirrored side wings in a striking Rococo‑influenced design. The central panel features an exquisite silk embroidery of scrolling foliage, florals, and arabesques, framed by carved giltwood mouldings that echo the sinuous curves and theatrical ornament of the period. The two flanking panels are fitted with bevelled mirrors, adding light, depth, and a touch of glamour, while the carved giltwood frames display crisp detailing — acanthus flourishes, shell motifs, and elegant cabriole legs terminating in scrolled feet. The cresting is particularly ornate, with pierced carving and a sculptural silhouette that gives the piece a commanding presence. This screen is both functional and decorative: a statement object that brings warmth, texture, and reflective light into a room. The combination of embroidered silk and mirrorwork is characteristic of the refined tastes of late 19th‑century European interiors, where craftsmanship and opulence were celebrated in equal measure.
