Four-Panel Orientalist Screen Depicting Lavish Middle Eastern Interior
Located in Yonkers, NY
A vivid, large-scale screen painted across four hinged wooden panels, this vintage piece presents an ornate and theatrical Orientalist scene with strong visual impact. The composition draws on 19th-century salon painting traditions, depicting a richly appointed Middle Eastern interior and a cast of female figures engaged in ceremonial or domestic ritual. The central focus is a seated woman in lavish patterned robes who receives a cosmetic touch-up from a standing attendant, her ornate headdress already in place. The scene is framed by architectural elements — pointed arches, tiled walls, and elaborate latticework — with a level of stylized detail that adds to the immersive quality.
The palette is rich in golds, crimsons, and deep blues, and the intricate patterns in the rugs, fabrics, and tilework are balanced by more restrained passages of neutral plaster and shadow. Painted directly onto the surface of four tall panels, this screen functions equally well as a folding partition or mounted wall art...

Antique Chinese Screens and Room Dividers for Sale
Whether they are implemented as decorative accents or makeshift partitions to ensure privacy, antique Chinese room dividers and other 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.
Eastern elements elevate a home's decor — on 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique Chinese 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.
