Spectacular folding screen by Maitland-Smith from the late 20th century, specifically manufactured between the 1980s and 1990s. The piece depicts a fantastic villa beside a river with peacocks, roosters, and waterfowl, framed by classical columns and garlands.
During this period, the firm founded by Paul Maitland-Smith in 1979 specialized in recreating high-quality furniture inspired by the 18th and 19th centuries.
The artwork employs oil painting on canvas or wood panel, subsequently treated with aging, crackling, and protective lacquer techniques to achieve the appearance of genuine classical antiquity.
