This elegant 2-panel room divider combines French neoclassical ornamentation with romantic printed fabric portraits, creating a dramatic and highly decorative accent for a bedroom, dressing room, salon, hallway, boutique, or living space.
The frame is made from solid beechwood and richly detailed with Louis XVI Revival elements, including a shaped openwork crest, floral ornamentation, scrolling lines, and carefully carved decorative accents. The antique gold finish gives the screen warmth and depth, beautifully emphasizing the sculptural quality of the carving.
Each panel is inset with a pressed fabric portrait scene of a richly dressed woman in historical costume holding grapes. The matching portrait imagery across both panels creates a balanced and symmetrical appearance. The dark painterly background of the fabric provides a beautiful contrast to the gilt beechwood frame, allowing the figure and decorative details to stand out.
Thanks to its two-panel folding construction, the screen can be positioned at various angles to suit the room. It works beautifully as a room divider, dressing screen, decorative backdrop, privacy screen, or simply as an architectural statement piece. Even when left open as a display object, it adds romantic European character and strong visual presence.
