The golden framed screen is richly embellished in bas relief in an antiquarian Louis XIV fashion. The 'Roman' style illustrated in the Oeuvres, 1712 of Daniel Marot (d. 1752), 'architect' to William III, are recalled by the foliated ribbon-frets that are displayed in its gothic arcaded panels; while its border comprises a cusped and jewelled ribbon-guilloche tied by Roman foliage, and relates to mid-18th Century gothic patterns. The screen is likely to have formed part of the antiquarian furnishings introduced to the magnificent Penryhn Castle, Wales following the inheritance of the estate in 1840 by Colonel Edward Gordon Douglas-Pennant (d. 1886). He was created 1st Baron Penryhn of Llandegai by Queen Victoria, who had been entertained at Penrhyn in 1859.
