Folding Screens - From Wikipedia
In furniture, a folding screen is a piece of furniture which consists of at least two frames connected by hinges. These frames are covered with paper, cloth, wood or other materials. Screens are used to provide shelter, partition off a space, and as decoration.

The earliest folding screens originated in China as early as the fourth century BC. It is called píng fēng (
屛風) in Chinese and its use became widespread around the 7th century in Tang Dynasty of China. More Info click here
