    Description

    At auction we present this very old and unusual, 6-panel folding tabletop screen. It was constructed of heavy gauge paperboard, edged all around, with profiled brass corner brackets to protect it. 3 rice paper images decorate the gold starburst background, each displaying traditional Asian cultural activities. Check out the elegant, satin fabric border trim!  On the back side of the folds is a modified leaf motif backed in olive green so that it's presentable from either side.
    CONDITION:  The entire screen is straight, undamaged, and has no torn hinged panel joints. The sole mark on the whole affair is a rubbed spot on the back, green side, perhaps from a price tag decades ago.
    Measurements:  11.5 x 25 inches.
