18th Century French Louis XVI Antique 5 Panels Hand Painted Screen from Duc Uzès

About the Item

A remarkable Louis XVI 18th-century French antique screen with an illustrious provenance, presumed to have belonged to the Duke of Uzès. This exquisite five-panel folding screen showcases hand painted oil on canvas artwork framed in gilded wood, exuding the opulence of the period. Each of the five vertical panels is beautifully hand-painted with intricate neoclassical motifs, while the smaller upper sections depict scenes from La Fontaine’s Fables, bringing a literary and artistic richness to the piece. The delicate detailing, elegant composition, and harmonious palette reflect the refined craftsmanship of the time. Adding to its historical significance, during the restoration of the screen, we discovered a card bearing the Duke of Uzès’ name, which we have carefully preserved inside, which supports our assumption that this piece had noble origins and was part of the Duke of Uzès' collection. In great vintage condition, this screen is a stunning decorative statement, perfect for collectors of fine antiques, French heritage pieces, or those seeking an elegant focal point for their interiors.

Located in Middleburg, VA
18th Century Louis XVI Three-Panel Arched Screens with Painted Floral and Architectural Motifs. An exquisite and rare set of three panel screens from the Louis XVI period, crafted in the South of France circa 1790. Each arched panel is meticulously hand-painted with neoclassical decorative motifs emblematic of the Louis XVI aesthetic, featuring garlands, musical and artistic trophies, scrolling foliage, and urns filled with delicate florals. The panels are arranged in harmonious symmetry, unified by their softly aged ochre-toned ground and framed in carved and gilded wood. The lower sections are adorned with stylized classical shell forms and acanthus flourishes, while the upper registers display suspended emblems- such as a painter's palette, hunting horn, and straw hat- each rendered with graceful trompe l'oeil illusion and entwined with ribbons. Executed in tempera or distemper on canvas over wood, the screens retain a remarkable original surface and patina, exhibiting the poetic elegance of late 18th-century Provincial craftsmanship. These striking architectural accents are suitable for refined interiors. These screens may be used as freestanding partitions, mounted wall art...
