Vintage French Wooden Beaded Door Screen - Blue 35½" x 73¾"

A charming and practical French beaded door screen, dating from the early to mid-20th century, traditionally used in provincial homes to allow fresh air to circulate while keeping insects at bay. Handmade from buis (boxwood) beads in natural and painted blue tones, this piece features a striking geometric pattern with pointed arch motifs. The strands are suspended from a wooden rail, ready to be mounted above a doorway - it makes a lovely sound as you part the strands to walk through. Both decorative and functional, this lightweight screen embodies rustic French charm and would make a beautiful addition to a summer kitchen, garden room, or country house entryway. A rare find in this condition, with gentle wear consistent with age and use.
