Large three-panel Art Deco screen/room divider by Paul Follot. Reference (similar version): Sotheby's 20th Century Design sale, March 6, 2014, lot 78; Le Boudoir de Madame, Mobilier et Décoration, 1924, p. 23. Note: This lot exhibits signs of age and characteristics of design consistent with screens produced by Paul Follot. Provenance: Purchased in Paris, France around twenty years ago | Private Collection, New York. 'He (Paul Follot) was a leading designer of furniture and interiors in the transition from Art Nouveau to ART DECO before World War I and in the subsequent popularization of the Art Deco style... Opposed to the austerity of modernism, Follot exhibited a sumptuous dining-room at the Salon des Artistes D'corateurs in 1929 and in 1935 designed a luxury suite on the liner Normandie.'
