Mid-Century French Riviera Rattan and Cane 4-Panel Room Divider, circa 1970

This four-panel room divider is an iconic piece of 1970s Riviera design, offering an aesthetic that is both organic and sophisticated, fitting perfectly into contemporary interiors. Its curved natural rattan structure supports tight-weave rattan cane panels, creating a delicate interplay of transparency that allows for space to be structured without ever obstructing the light. Each panel is crowned with particularly graphic fan-shaped wickerwork, evoking the airy ‘Peacock’ motifs and the relaxed chic of Côte d’Azur villas.
Preserved in remarkable condition, this screen features perfectly taut caning with no breaks and a highly stable frame. Its deep, consistent golden-honey patina bears witness to the quality of the materials used and meticulous care over the decades. Thanks to its smooth original hinges and impeccable double-sided finish, this decorative object lends itself to multiple uses: as an airy room divider to filter light, or as a spectacular headboard to bring a warm texture to a bedroom. It is a centerpiece, rare in such a state of preservation, embodying the timeless elegance of 1970s wicker furniture
