Overview
A beautiful three-panel folding floor screen crafted in the French Provincial style, featuring arched tops, hand-woven cane inserts, and elegant carved wood details. The lower portion of each panel is anchored by a carved circular cartouche and raised-panel detailing, connected by continuous brass piano hinges.
Story
In the mid-20th century, designers revived the rustic elegance of 18th-century French country estates. This screen was created to bring that breezy, sun-drenched European charm into modern, open-concept mid-century homes.
Maker / Origin
While the maker is currently unmarked, this piece represents the high-quality revival furniture produced by premium mid-century manufacturers such as Baker, Widdicomb, or specialized French import workshops. These makers elevated provincial designs by combining traditional hand-carving techniques with durable modern hardware.
Condition & Value
The screen appears to be in very good vintage condition. The cane is remarkably intact with no obvious sagging, breaks, or punctures visible. The wood finish shows minor surface scuffs consistent with age, but retains a warm, rich patina. Intact cane is rare and preserves 80% of the item's market value.
