SIX-PANEL FOLDING SCREEN
This folding screen, made from wallpapers from the Parisian manufacture of Jules Desfossé imitating oriental lacquer (patterns of stairs, pagodas, numerous characters fishing or engaged in tea ceremonies), is the "twin" of the screen that was once in Marcel Proust's bedroom, now housed in the Carnavalet Museum (Paris).
