With its generous width, sculptural wave-like silhouette, vertical rhythm, and warm honey-toned pine, this room divider has a quiet architectural presence. The narrow slatted construction gives the surface depth and movement, while the soft curves and aged patina bring warmth, texture, and an understated elegance. When opened, the screen creates a beautiful flowing form; when closed, it becomes a compact cylindrical object with a strong sculptural quality.

Jomain Baumann is best known for his French tambour room dividers, often made from narrow wooden slats connected in a flexible construction that allows the screen to curve, fold, and stand freely. These designs are associated with early 20th-century French Art Deco and modernist interiors, combining practical function with a highly decorative architectural form.

Condition
Good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its period. The pine slats show visible patina, surface scratches, scuffs, small dark marks, finish wear, minor dents, and natural colour variation throughout. There are some visible marks and wear along the lower edges, sides, and curved top sections. The piece presents beautifully with a warm aged surface and strong decorative presence.
