Original Description
François-Louis Schmied's Forêt, Paravent (1925), a four-panel lacquer screen created in collaboration with Jean Dunand, is a masterpiece of French Art Deco. Its sinuous forms and rich, lustrous surfaces evoke a dreamlike forest, where stylized trees and foliage shimmer in deep blacks, radiant golds, and earthy reds—hallmarks of Schmied’s exquisite craftsmanship and Dunand’s pioneering lacquer techniques. The work embodies the era’s fascination with exoticism and nature reinterpreted through modernist geometry, blending Japanese influence with European luxury. As a rare collaborative piece, it represents the golden age of decorative arts, when artists transcended boundaries between fine and applied art. Today, it is celebrated in museum collections as a pinnacle of 1920s design, capturing both the opulence and innovation of its time.
For a showstopping statement, place Forêt, Paravent in a high-ceilinged room with neutral tones to let its gilded motifs take center stage. Its imposing scale (typical of Schmied’s screens) suits spacious interiors—a grand office lobby or a minimalist living room would amplify its dramatic presence. Pair it with sleek Art Deco furniture, like Macassar ebony consoles or geometric brass accents, to enhance its luxurious vibe. Alternatively, contrast its ornate details with contemporary mid-century pieces for an eclectic twist. Opt for warm, subdued lighting to highlight the lacquer’s depth, and avoid competing patterns to let its intricate artistry shine. Whether as a room divider or a focal wall piece, this screen transforms spaces into galleries of timeless elegance.
