The screen features an unusual flexible construction composed of numerous narrow vertical wooden slats, creating a beautifully ribbed surface and allowing the divider to be arranged in a variety of curved and sculptural configurations. When fully extended, the rhythmic vertical structure gives the piece a strong architectural presence, while its flexible construction allows it to be folded into a remarkably compact form when not in use. The warm reddish-brown wood has developed an attractive aged surface and patina, emphasizing the texture and character of the material. Produced by Baumann Fils & Cie in Paris, the screen is a particularly decorative example of French mid-century design, combining functionality with an almost sculptural quality. Ideal as a room divider, privacy screen or freestanding architectural element in a modern or eclectic interior. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
