Antique Screens - Antique Room Dividers

Antique room dividers and partitions are mostly derived from asian sources and come at hefty prices. Those of European origin are generally copies or interpretations of Japanese and Chinese screens. From the mid nineteenth century western traders entered oriental markets and brought back old room dividers for decorative room separation.

Caring for antique paneled screens is a difficult job as many of them have been damaged by both human and temperature factors. Often antique room dividers suffer from punctures or holes in the canvas or fabric and if remounting is necessary it must be done very carefully.

These retailers, Stacks and Stacks and Home Decorators , offer antique reproduction screens, a more affordable choice for many.
