180 - Three-panel folding screen made of carved wood with leather panels, India, 19th century

Three-panel folding screen made of carved wood with leather panels, India, 19th century Carved teak wood and polychrome leather. Measures 225 x 168 cm. This screen, composed of three hinged panels, is made of finely chiseled teak wood with profuse decoration of scrolls, foliage, and plant motifs that cover the entire structure. Each panel features central panels covered in polychrome Cordovan leather, decorated with stylized floral motifs arranged in symmetrical and rhythmic compositions. The carving displays great depth and precision, creating contrasts of light and shadow that enhance the piece’s ornamental character. The balance between the decorative exuberance of the wood and the chromatic richness of the leather gives the piece a strong visual presence. This work is attributed to late 19th-century Indian craftsmanship and was designed both as a functional element for dividing spaces and as a decorative object of high artisanal value.
