Art Deco teak poster stand or screen

Diverted into a screen and even conceivable as a vintage partition, this teak poster holder dates from the 1940s. A true work of art, it comes from the Théâtre des Célestins in Lyon. Its teak structure, in perfect condition, supports a canvas on which the poster for the upcoming performance in the main hall was slid. Definitely Art Deco, the pattern of the canvas is extremely graphic. A utilitarian object that is also proof that creations derived from or inspired by the Art Deco movement possess timeless beauty. A rare piece.
