Large folding wooden screen in two sheets or panels, produced by the Parisian house Fournier Decoration, which in the seventies and eighties of the last century launched a select collection of Art Deco Revival screens with architectural or floral decorations inspired by the aesthetics of the 1920s. On the front of the screen in question, the two panels are somewhat reminiscent of stained glass windows, given the intense shine of the textured surface in light relief, and the round arch that frames them, with a floral representation of sensual tulips in slightly iridescent tones among sinuous foliage developing on the inside. The back of the screen is also lacquered with vegetal compositions on black.
