This pair of antique accordion style folding screens from Italy each features three connected panels, each rectangular in shape, whose front sides are adorned in leather. There are original hand-painted scenes of nature, a festive collage of dolphins, squirrels, and foliage motif, all within a head accent trim about each panel. The leather finish has a lovely aged patina and cracking throughout, as well as some old tears -- all a beautiful reflection of their rich history and age. The back-sides of these panels are un-adorned and painted in black. This pair of late 17th to early 18th century Italian painted leather screens would make stunning room dividers, visually breaking up a larger space, or perhaps used to add artful interest along a wall or corner.
