About the Item
A richly detailed and substantial four-panel folding screen composed of 32 tooled leather panels set into a solid fruitwood frame with heavy-duty brass hinges. The embossed leather is finished in a luminous gold tone that catches and reflects light with striking effect—more vibrant and glowing in person than photos suggest. The result is both refined and bold, with an elegant symmetry that speaks to modernist luxury.
The craftsmanship and materials point to either fine Italian atelier work—celebrated for its sophisticated leathercraft and precision wood joinery—or the influence of Tommi Parzinger, whose designs in mid-century America combined tailored formality with high-style decorative surfaces. The piece reflects the same language of elevated modernism found in the work of Parzinger, Edward Wormley, and William Haines, all of whom embraced screens as sculptural yet functional elements in their interiors.
A piece of this caliber would have appealed to top interior decorators and forward-thinking clients of the period—those furnishing Fifth Avenue apartments, Palm Springs modernist homes, or Hollywood estates. It would have found its way into projects by designers like Billy Baldwin, Frances Elkins, or Kalef Alaton, who often used screens to introduce visual rhythm, divide space with elegance, or create a strong decorative focal point.
Equally suited to contemporary use, this screen offers the versatility of a movable architectural element with the sophistication of heirloom craftsmanship—bridging Italian tradition and modernist glamour in one commanding form.
