Large three-panel folding screen from the 18th century, made of embroidered and painted silk, featuring rich allegorical and naturalistic decoration.
Each panel features remarkable decorative work combining birds, bouquets of flowers, garlands of foliage, putti, medallions with classical profiles, and mythical creatures in the neoclassical style of the late 18th century.
The finesse of the embroidery and polychrome highlights on a moiré silk background attests to the high quality of the work, which was likely commissioned for an aristocratic interior or a reception hall.
The panels are framed with gilded wooden moldings.
A very elegant design enlivened by symmetrical compositions inspired by Louis XVI decorative arts, featuring a refined iconography that combines abundance, nature, and music.
In good overall condition, with wear and minor imperfections consistent with its age.
A spectacular decorative piece, equally suitable as a room divider or a wall hanging.
