A lacquered wood three-panel folding screen, featuring a stepped top profile that progressively increases in height. The design stands as a spectacular testament to American Modernism and the “Machine Age” aesthetic developed by Donald Deskey around 1930. Set against a mottled and textured silver background, the powerful, asymmetrical abstract composition deploys bold geometric shapes in jet-black. The visual rhythm is vigorously accentuated by double parallel bright red lines forming dynamic chevrons and arrows.
