(2) Provence: from the collection of Henry Bridges Fearon (1907-1995), purchased from Spink & Son. Table screens, along with brushes, ink sticks, paper and ink stones were necessary furnishings of a scholar's studio.

Table screens were originally used to protect the papers on the scholar's desk from wind, splashes of ink and peering eyes.
