Antiques : Accessories : Face Screens

 

A Pair of 19th. C. Silk Face Screens with Tassels and Braided Trim. Each has a different floral scene both have identical trim and tassels. One depicts an English Rose with delicate blue flowers. The other depicts a cutting of berries. The trim and cording adds ranges in shades of golds and tans accented with deep green and black. The back of each screen is covered in a solid deep green silk. The handles are black porcelain and brass with decorative finials.

Measurements: When attached full height is 19 inches long. Each screen measures 7 7/8 inches by 9 inches without the trim which is 2 inches.

Condition is good to very good. Minor spots on cream fronts. The trim and tassels are in very good condition. The handles are in good condition with a minor bend. The screens attached to the handles with small brass hooks. Only two of these remain; however, they are a little difficult to hook and unhook. I am sure an experienced seamstress could devise a better way to attached the screens to the handles (several small stitches through the back of the cording to the openings on the handles would hold them well).
