Dating to the late Victorian era, this authentic antique exemplifies the period's obsession with Anglo-Japanese and Chinoiserie design. The mahogany has been intricately hand-turned to replicate the organic notches and nodes of natural bamboo canes, boasting a deep, warm patina that machine-made reproductions simply cannot mimic. The frame retains its original finials, corner braces and period brass structural hinges, allowing the three panels to fold seamlessly to divide a space or accent a wall.
This antique faux bamboo framework would serve as the ultimate architectural boundary for mounting and showcasing exquisite, hand-painted panoramic wallpaper panels (such as Gracie or De Gournay). Inserting silk-screened botanical or avian panels turns this folding frame into a standalone, museum-quality work of art.

Each individual panel measure 26.5" wide
(Please Note): This item is being sold strictly as an empty architectural frame/casing. It is missing its original 19th-century fabric panels. It is ready for your choice of custom restoration, whether you choose to insert new upholstered fabric or hand-painted wallpaper panels. See less
