Mid-Century Room Divider - Screen in Iron with Linen by St. Herzog Munich 1990s
Located in Salzburg, AT
Screen in iron with heavy linen fabric covering by Stefan Herzog. The naturalistic object has a poetic touch and recalls the works of Garouste and Bonetti. The iron parts have a certain rusticity, the pores are open, making them look almost like branches. The slightly coarser beige-colored linen harmonizes perfectly with the brown iron frame. The 3-frame parts are mounted on 4 large oak wheels. The object is movable and, when postitioning, the wheels must be properly aligned. These oak wheels give the object the final touch. Stefan Herzog was born in 1960 in Germany- Munich. His father runs for many years a Kunstschmiede in Munich, therefore meets Stefan Herzog also this choice of profession. He is trained as a blacksmith and visits the art academy in Munich, he concludes his training with the master craftsman's diploma. He takes over his father's family business. His artistic heart is attached to the special objects that he designs again and again. Various exhibitions in Munich with forged unique pieces - furniture follow...

Antique and Vintage Screens and Room Dividers

Whether they are implemented as decorative accents or makeshift partitions to ensure privacy, antique and vintage folding screens and room dividers easily introduce sophistication and depth to any space in your home.

The earliest examples of folding screens are said to have originated in China and go back at least as far as the Han dynasty. Screens of the era were heavy structures made of wood and had hinges of cloth or leather. They were adorned with elaborate landscape paintings that were typically created on silk or paper canvases and applied directly to the screen’s panels afterward. Just as they had been in the 20th century and today, the folding screens then were recognized for both their practical and purely decorative properties.

Japanese room-divider screens were also decorated with paintings but constructed to be lightweight and mobile. They took on considerable event-based importance when the structures gained popularity in the East Asian country, as the folding screens were used in performing arts such as concerts, tea ceremonies and more. Later, artists elsewhere warmed to folding screens and sought to create their own.

In European countries such as France, where they were known as paravent, folding screens began to materialize in apartments in Paris, gaining favor with the likes of pioneering couturier Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, who is said to have accrued more than 30 and used them as a precursor to what we now know as wallpaper.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique and vintage folding screens and room dividers, which, given their history, may do a better job of bringing people and cultures together in your home than sectioning off a space. Search by material to find options in metal, fabric or wood, or browse by style for mid-century modern designs and examples from the Art Deco era.
