介绍（中）	正如对当代室内装饰的描绘所表明的那样，屏风在十八世纪非常时尚。它们有不同的尺寸：高高的多叶折叠屏（通风口）放在门口以阻挡气流，而其他较短的折叠屏则放在壁炉架前以遮挡火焰的热量（后者被称为化学炉）。通风口的框架可以用纸、皮革或织物覆盖，但也可以暴露、雕刻和镀金，就像这种新古典主义的带阶梯顶部的四叶屏风一样。它的框架展示了两条连续交织的镂空海鸠图案带，它们位于普通的饰条之间，还有一条由缎带绑着的月桂叶构成的边界。每块面板的四个角落都雕刻着一个叶子图案。这种屏风通常与座椅家具和防火屏风一起订购，并用相同的织物覆盖。
介绍（英）	Screens were very fashionable during the eighteenth-century as is illustrated in depictions of contemporary interiors. They were made in different sizes: tall multi-leaf folding screens (paravents) were placed in front of doorways to exclude drafts, and others, shorter ones, stood in front of the mantelpiece to shield from the heat of the fire (the latter were known as an écran de cheminée). The frames of the paravents could be covered with paper, leather, or fabric but could also be exposed, carved, and gilded as is the case with this neoclassical four-leaf screen with its stepped top. Its frame displays two continuous interwoven bands of openwork guilloche motifs between plain moldings as well as a border of ribbon-tied laurel leaves. The four corners of each panel are carved with a leaf motif. Such screens were often ordered as a set with seat furniture and a fire screen and would have been covered with the same fabric.
