"Antique Pair Of “face Screen” Hand Screens Painted In Tempera On Silk"
Fine pair of Louis-Philippe period hand screens, in silk painted in tempera with floral compositions executed with great finesse.Intended to shield the face from the heat of the fireplace, these objects combine utility and refinement, embodying the art of living of a bygone era.
Condition: some alterations to the silk – small tears at the junction between the screen and the handle – and slight losses of pictorial material, visible only when held against the light from the reverse.
