Folk-Inspired 1970s Wallpaper Folding Screen

Four-panel 16" wide per panel by 48" tall folding screen featuring wallpaper-mounted decorative panels rendered in a patchwork-style composition. The imagery draws from folk and vernacular motifs: animals, trees, and architectural elements, translated into a graphic, pattern-forward format characteristic of mid-20th-century Chinese export decorative arts produced for Western interiors.

The repeating scenes include elephants, deer, cattle, palm trees, and stylized architectural forms, arranged in a rhythmic grid and printed in a rich palette of reds, greens, blues, and warm neutrals. Framed in black-painted wood with metal hinges, the screen functions both as a room divider and as a highly decorative wall-like surface.

Retaining original export labels marked “For decorative purposes only” and “Made in China,” this piece reflects the period’s fascination with global pattern, ornament, and narrative imagery. Ideal as a backdrop, accent wall, or statement divider in bohemian, eclectic, and global-modern interiors
