Teak Room Screen Six Panels with Peacocks

This six-panel folding room screen is made from solid teakwood and measures 78 inches wide by 70 inches tall when opened flat. Each panel is cut through with flowers and vines, and two light-colored peacocks stand one above the other in the openwork. The wood has a warm gold finish that leaves the grain visible.

Hinges join the panels so the screen can stand in a curve or fold flat for storage, and short curved feet let it stand on its own. Because the carving is open, light passes through, so the screen divides a room without closing it off. The sixth panel makes it wider than a five-panel screen, which is useful for setting off a larger seating area or a bed.

Naree chose this screen for Uniquely Thai because the paired peacocks and floral scrollwork follow the open carving style seen on Thai temple doors. Dust it with a soft brush or dry cloth.
