Lot Essay

Queen Juliana of the Netherlands (1909-2009) reigned from 1948 until her abdication in 1980, she inherited the throne from her mother Queen Wilhemina (1880-1962) who was the only child of King William III (1817-1890). The Royal stamp marked W and the date of the screen indicate it was almost certainly used in one of the Royal residences by King William III.
