A beautiful handmade folding screen hand painted by an artist, depicting a charming black and white dog resting upon rich blue cushions. Framed by sweeping blue drapery and a moody landscape beyond, the composition draws inspiration from traditional European animal portraiture and the decorative interiors of grand English country houses. Crafted from painted board with an elegant shaped upper edge and folding panels, the screen has a theatrical quality, reminiscent of the decorative painted screens found in traditional English country houses. I have a similar screen in my own home featuring a pig, which I use to conceal our television when it isn’t in use. I love the idea of hiding modern technology behind something handmade and beautiful, rather than having a television dominate the room. These screens are equally lovely positioned in front of an unused fireplace, displayed upon a mantelpiece or placed against a wall as an artwork in their own right. The folding design allows the panels to be adjusted to suit different spaces and arrangements. Please note that the screen is made from painted board and is not suitable for use in front of a working fireplace or anywhere exposed to heat. These are one off originals.
