Victorian Oriental Folding Screen XIXc.

Two panels folding screen from the second half of the 19th century is by origin from UK. When it arrived it was covered with wax, there was an attempt to do some repairs, visible on the corners of the lacquered part; it was absent one wheel, breaks on the wood from the back, numerous losses of mother of pearl and bone.
The middle part that is lacquered  cardboard - was also damaged.















It took me almost one year to finish all the restoration work. And here it is the result.
