Fabric screen, mahogany and rosewood – 1900

This mahogany and rosewood screen, made in the 1900s, embodies all the refinement of the decorative arts of the Belle Époque. Its structure, crafted from precious wood and patinated by time, reveals meticulous craftsmanship where every curve and joint reflects demanding artistry. Its three panels are adorned with sumptuous period fabric, featuring a design of flowers, scrolls, and leaves that creates a true textile lace. The motifs, delicately woven, evoke the elegance of bourgeois interiors from the early 20th century, where floral ornamentation and sinuous lines dominated contemporary taste. Both a functional object and a decorative piece, this screen stands out for its timeless charm. It tells a story of a way of life where aesthetics and utility blended naturally, and where every piece of furniture contributed to creating a warm, muted, and profoundly refined atmosphere. Period: 1900. Excellent condition. Fabric wear relative to its age.
