Brass room dividers — hand-worked screens for retail, hospitality and design floors.
Brass gives a folding screen a warm, golden presence that paint and plating never match. Working with the Moradabad metal-craft tradition, we set hand-worked brass inlay, fretwork and sheet into solid-wood frames — finished to hold their shine or to age into a living patina, folding flat for dense shipping, and container-ready from your first trial order.
A screen that carries metalwork and craft story at once.
A room divider is seen from both faces and across a whole room, so the surface matters more than on almost any other piece — and brass is built for exactly that reading. It is a copper-zinc alloy with a deep, warm gold tone that signals luxury on a retail floor or in a hotel lobby, and it catches and scatters light through pierced and inlaid patterns the way a flat finish never can. Brass is non-ferrous, so unlike steel it never rusts — a genuine advantage for a tall standing piece that lives in humid lounges and spa zones. Worked by hand, brass sheet can be hammered, embossed, etched, pierced into fretwork and cut into inlay, the artform Moradabad has exported for generations, which is why a brass screen carries a craft narrative your customers pay for. And because the brass is set into a solid-wood folding frame, the screen gets the heft, rigidity and standing stability of real furniture beneath a surface of fine metalwork — a statement partition engineered to sell on sight and fold flat for the container.
What hand-worked brass brings to a dividing screen.
| Attribute | Brass room divider characteristic |
|---|---|
| Material | Copper-zinc brass inlay, fretwork and sheet set into a solid-wood folding frame; solid cast brass for hinges and finials |
| Appearance | Warm golden tone with high light-play; pierced, hammered, embossed, etched or smooth surfaces visible from both faces |
| Corrosion | Non-ferrous — does not rust; reliable for tall standing screens in humid lounges, spas and bars |
| Finish | Polished, brushed/satin, antique/aged or hammered; lacquered to hold shine or unlacquered to patina |
| Patina | Living surface — mellows over time when unlacquered, and can be polished back on demand |
| Craft | Moradabad-tradition hand piercing, inlay, hammering and etching to catalogue or to your drawing |
| Frame & infill | Solid-wood folding frame with brass-inlay jali, pierced brass panels, or brass with cane and glass infills |
| Structure | Mortise-and-tenon wood frame and brass or iron hinges give furniture-grade standing stability |
Fretwork density, inlay fit and lacquer all vary with workmanship, so we recommend approving a physical screen before production. Request a brass room divider sample and we will send surface, finish and pattern references for your range. For the full metal profile, see the brass material guide.
Panels, heights and infills — matched to your interior.
Every dimension below is a standard starting point; we build brass dividers to your exact panel count, height, pattern and infill for contract and retail projects, confirmed on an approved sample before production.
| Form | Panel / size | Deployed width | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-panel folding | 40–50 cm × 150–180 cm per panel | Approx. 120–150 cm | Bedroom, retail corners, small lounges |
| 4-panel folding | 40–50 cm × 150–180 cm per panel | Approx. 160–200 cm | Living rooms, suites, boutique floors |
| 6-panel folding | 40–50 cm × 150–180 cm per panel | Approx. 240–300 cm | Hotel lobbies, restaurant zoning |

Metalware and a wooden frame — documented for both.
A brass-on-wood divider has to satisfy metalware quality rules and timber rules at once, so we document both. The wooden frames and infills ship with FSC chain-of-custody on request, Vriksh timber-legality verification, CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, and EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, with US Lacey Act declaration support and UK Timber Regulation coverage. Wood finishes are CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant, with social and quality assurance under SEDEX / SMETA, ISO and SGS inspection, and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing for the wood components. As an EPCH member exporting under RCMC and FIEO, we provide complete trade paperwork — and certificate references go directly to serious buyers, never published.

Finishes for the look you want to keep.
A brass room divider asks for very little. Lacquered pieces need only dusting with a soft dry cloth and an occasional wipe with a damp one — the sealed surface holds its shine and resists fingerprints through daily use. Unlacquered brass is meant to live and breathe: it mellows into a warmer antique tone over months and years, and whenever your customer wants the bright look back, a proprietary brass cleaner or a traditional lemon-and-salt rub buffed dry restores it. Abrasive pads and harsh chemicals are the only things to avoid, since they scratch the metal. Pierced fretwork and inlay dust easily with a soft brush, and antiqued surfaces hide marks and handling best, which makes them a dependable choice for high-traffic hospitality floors. The solid-wood frame takes the usual care for its species — kept clear of direct heat and standing damp, and refreshed with a wax or oil polish once or twice a year. Full care and finish guidance ships with every order so your retail and hospitality customers get consistent, confident advice.
Brass room divider sourcing, answered.
Are your brass room dividers solid brass or brass on a wood frame?
Most are hand-worked brass sheet, inlay or fretwork set into a solid-wood folding frame — the wood gives the screen its structure and standing weight, while the brass carries the warm metallic light and pattern. We also build brass-finished metal-frame screens with wood, cane or glass infills, and use solid cast brass for hinges, finials and accents. We state the exact construction on every quote so you know precisely what you are selling.
Will a brass room divider tarnish, and how is it finished?
Brass is a living copper-zinc alloy that naturally mellows to a warmer, deeper tone over time. If you want the bright finish held, we apply a protective lacquer so the screen only needs dusting. If you prefer an evolving patina, we supply it unlacquered or pre-antiqued so it ages gracefully and can be polished back whenever your customer wishes. You choose the look per order.
What styles and sizes of brass room divider do you make?
Brass-inlay carved jali screens, pierced brass fretwork panels, brass-and-cane folding screens, and brass-frame partitions with wood or glass infills. Standard folding screens run 3, 4 or 6 panels, each panel roughly 40–50 cm wide and 150–180 cm tall, giving a 120–300 cm deployed width. Fixed and partition-height screens are made to your drawing, and every dimension, panel count and finish is confirmed on your sample before production.
Can brass room dividers ship flat-pack to lower freight?
Yes. Folding screens fold flat by design, and panel dividers ship knockdown with concealed hardware — both maximise container density and cut breakage in transit. Brass fittings are wrapped and corner-protected, and we offer carton, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready and branded packaging.
How do buyers care for a brass room divider?
Lacquered pieces need only dusting with a soft dry cloth and an occasional wipe with a damp one. Unlacquered brass can be refreshed with a proprietary brass cleaner or a traditional lemon-and-salt rub, then buffed dry; avoid abrasive pads that scratch the surface. The solid-wood frame takes the usual care for its species. Full care and finish guidance ships with every order.
Do you make custom and private-label brass room dividers?
Yes. We work as ODM from our catalogue and as OEM from your drawings, carving and fretwork patterns, finishes and private label — including custom CNC-cut and pierced brass motifs drawn from Moradabad metal craft, bespoke sizes and your own branded packaging.
Approve the pattern and finish, then ship from one container up.
Sign off the fretwork, inlay and finish on a physical sample, then scale from a trial order to repeat container volumes on a 30–45 day lead time — QC-governed and documented for your market.
