About the 9-Panel Folding Screen

Made for a client in Barbados who wanted the panels to represent some of the tropical fruits and flowers that grow on the island. My wife, Kathy, painted the panels on silk. Each silk panel is separately framed between glass so they can be rearranged if desired.  Custom brass hinges allow the frames to pivot forwards or backwards so the screen can be configured as shown or in a 'Z' pattern.
