About the Item
Rare and Exceptional Flexible Solid Pine Screen by Baumann, Provenance Authenticated by a Vintage Label from Grands Magasins Du Louvre, Circa 1930-1940.
This flexible screen is a rare and fascinating collector's piece of French furniture design, typical of the Art Deco / Modernist period of the 1930s-1940s. Manufactured by the famous house of Baumann, known for the ingenuity and quality of its wooden creations, it perfectly embodies the alliance between careful aesthetics and smart functionality.
Provenance and Historical Rarity
The history of this model makes it particularly desirable: it was originally sold at the prestigious Grands Magasins Du Louvre in Paris. This provenance is authenticated by the presence of its original vintage label, a crucial detail that attests to its superior quality and high-end positioning. The fact that it comes from one of the most emblematic department stores in the French capital gives this screen historical value and a rarity coveted by collectors.
Design and Functionality
The screen is made of solid pine, displaying a warm patina with honey and caramel tones, characteristic of period wood. Its structure is based on an assembly of vertical, articulated, and flexible slats, allowing it to be deployed into a wavy and sculptural form (as seen in the images), offering a modular and aesthetic room divider.
Its design is remarkably intelligent: it can be completely rolled up on itself, transforming into an elegant wooden cylinder or column. This unique ability to retract greatly facilitates storage and transportation, making it as practical as it is decorative.
