Folding screens are both functional and decorative—beautiful objects with which to break up a space, hide an unpleasant sight, or add a touch of theatrical flair. Here are six exceptional examples we’ve used or admired:
Tim Button: We loved this mahogany, mirror, and steel screen by James Duncan so much we borrowed it from Profiles in the NYDC for a show house.
Bruce Bierman: The sensational Edgar Brandt Art Deco screen is perfect with the Paul Dupré-Lafon dining table and chairs and the Simonet Frères chandelier.
Carl D’Aquino: Finished with flame lacquer, gold leaf, and blackened metal, the amazing Solis Screen by Tony Duquette is available at Dennis Miller Associates.
Glenn Gissler: Used to divide a large room, this plain painted screen makes a perfect background to the art and objects displayed on free-standing shelves.
