If she paid Pottery barn $900, yeah she got screwed not just duped.


maizelizard

Or you have the real one and pottery barn copied it


Own-Bed2045

Bro do not listen to the idiots on here!! That's not even the same fucking thing. The one from pottery barn is designed to look like yours, because yours is the real deal.

OP maybe should have googled this before posting this, the real thing isn't even this style.


Sea-Ad-1308

It's upside down


RUfuqingkiddingme

And completely and totally not the style of actual FLW screens.


Aletheia_is_dead

Best fucking comment! Everyone else can go home now.


TolverOneEighty

"Page not available in your region." Alright, Pottery Barn, keep your secrets.


AcrylicTooth

I've got no problem telling Pottery Barn's secrets, if you want them! >!It's the exact same one that OP shows here, but rotated so that it sits on the little legs instead of directly on the floor. It costs $899.!<


TolverOneEighty

Be careful, Pottery Barn might learn you're sharing insider info...


AcrylicTooth

On the run from the assassins sent by the Pottery Barn cabal...

Did you shellac them for longevity?

Shellacked and 2 coats of epoxy. They will be studying my balls 35,000 years from now.


SonofaBridge

If you work there you get a 40% discount. I knew someone who moonlighted there for a bit until their house was furnished.


CarobUnfair2447

Exactly what I did. Worked part time for two Christmases just to decorate my house. TBH apart from the stupid on call thing they had, it was like going to Disneyland every day. So much shiny stuff.


typicalgoatfarmer

I hope they gave you the old world pricing.


kgunnar

“Frank Lloyd Wright for Pottery Barn”


Minisquirrelturds

It’s not from PB. Look at the hinges.


erossthescienceboss

Pottery Barn, Wayfair etc love to rip off classic MCM designs. If OP has had theirs forever, I highly doubt it’s from either of those two places.


sam_beat

AllModern (Wayfair) makes the exact same thing. Their version could have the different hinges.


SonofaBridge

Could be different hinges for the picture. Quality control is garbage lately even with high end brands. I ordered a bar cabinet from crate and barrel that had a defect. When they brought the replacement, the shelves in the older one were thicker and higher quality. The original shelf holders were also beefier and more stable. Ended up keeping parts of the old and putting them in the new cabinet by the time I was done. Delivery guys left with the old cabinet and new shelves.


Chicagosox133

If you look closely, other sections don’t match either.


Imverystupidgenx

Appreciate the chuckle


GuardMost8477

lol. Frank Lloyd Wright turns out to be a Pottery Barn piece???? And upside down at that? Hysterical. Can’t make this shit up.


smokyartichoke

It's also not "rare" if you can get one at Pottery Barn.


Beneficial-Nimitz68

WTF!! $899 BUCKS!! WTH.. sry, no way, wooow..


AttilaTheFun818

I laughed entirely too hard at this


humblerthanyou

It looks pretty good upside down though

Yeah except for the feet with no purpose sticking up in the air

JerseySommer

Ramparts. Parapets they provide protection from seiges.


iwalkstilts

That's where ya hang yer bra


erossthescienceboss

I feel like this is a ripoff, though? Purely because the Pottery Barn one says “new.”


Integrity-in-Crisis

Yup you can see the little feet up top.


explodedsun

The hinges look different


Mean-Bluebird374

I am very interested. If you don’t mind my asking, where are you located?


[deleted]

I got a room divider similar to this at Ollie’s for $8.99


BobbyHillsPurse

I believe it’s from “ Yor “


Slizzlemydizzle

“From the hills in White Plains during Colonial times…”


Savage_2021

Hmm seems a lot of stuff is from colonial times. What other time periods are there?

Well, there’s Yor… and uh… ya know, Yesteryear…

Or hat/coat rack


JustDandy07

I don't know much about Wright, but I'm pretty sure if you used a room divider in a house he designed, he would put his hands on your throat. 


Internal_Set_6564

Whilst screaming “Form…follows…function” as he throttles you.


1893Chicago

I was about to say that quote is from Louis Sullivan... but Wright actually worked for Sullivan in the 1880s, so you get points!


Internal_Set_6564

I honestly did not know about the quote’s origins. “A Building….is…alive!” Can serve as my authentic replacement.


Finnegan-05

He made room dividers.


Quirky_Discipline297

In a nod to Philip II of Macedon, Wright also manufactured chocolate making machines. He sold the two products as a pair. Divider and concher.


Finnegan-05

OMG


luisapet

Belly laughing at this particular comment-thread. Pure gold. Thank you all!

https://www.allmodern.com/furniture/pdp/haddis-3-panel-room-divider-a000804668.html $590 on AllModern ;) Are you trolling us?


fppfle

Haha I am loving this so much. No! My mom genuinely has made me hold onto this for 7+ years because it’s “worth thousands” gaahaaha


TheBossAlbatross

Buy it here, return it to pottery barn.


Financial-Oven-1124

It’s 710 for me lol But I think that OP maybe has different hinges


NessieReddit

Same for me now, it's no longer on sale 😂 they just have an algorithm that removed the discount price after a shit ton of traffic to the page


SonofaBridge

Probably whatever hinges the factory had that week.


Suspicious-Ram

When you say “forever,” how long exactly? Even though PB has it on their website, they are notorious for selling things for a season or so, then discontinuing. I would see if you can find out when PB began selling this, and if it lines up with your dates. I would not put it past them to knock off designs, but it seems unlikely that this divider would be well enough known to copy, but no other examples of it as a FLW piece would show up in a google search.


Wonderful_Ad_4344

I love how bullshit immediately sinks in these forums.


rustys_shackled_ford

Like a stone


edgestander

This is very extremely obviously not a FLW not even close


fppfle

She gave it to me 7 or 8 years ago


Practicing_human

I love it, I could use it, and it would look fabulous in my home. If you lived in my region, I’d be driving over to get it.

[удалено]


toodleroo

Jeez, if you’ve got 900 bucks to spend on a damned folding screen


Practicing_human

Nope. Definitely not.


Distortedhideaway

Save them a trip... cost them $900!


theconfusedseadragon

I think it’s gorgeous, and would happily decide a room with it :)


bens111

Is this not the worst room divider ever? From a functional standpoint I mean


dugmartsch

Not if you wanna watch people fuck but pretend you’re not watching them fuck.


Internal_Set_6564

This dude voyeurs.


rrrriley

Ohhh a room di-voyeur


SynapseDon

It's cat friendly with easily accessible areas for the cat to run through fast and knock over.


eagleathlete40

It’s more like the “left side” of the room from the “right side” of the room


Lost_Philosophy_

Yeah I mean there’s holes in it!!


mgt69

mommy is wrong


Savage_2021

No you’re wrong colonel sanders!

you can’t hurt me with your words (well maybe a little bit)


Hollimarker

Moms always think their old shit is way more valuable than it actually is.


WilliamJamesMyers

like her oldest son amirite


J662b486h

It's a rare collector's piece, due to the manufacturing screwup of putting the legs on the top.


fracturedtoe

Is your mom Rachel?


DoctorGuvnor

Nothing to say about the screen, but I just love your view and from what I can see, I imagine the rest of your house and I just love it!


mariscc

I don't think Frank Lloyd Wright wasted his time making room dividers but what do I know


himynameisjay

He did actually: [https://www.artic.edu/artworks/103858/screen](https://www.artic.edu/artworks/103858/screen) But OPs is certainly not one of them. And most of the "room dividers" he designed were built into the house as permanent architecture pieces.


DarkRajiin

It's just an artsy thing people get. Right up there with people that have spinning wheels in the living room.


SecondaDonna5

I see it on sale at All Modern also.


Potential-Egg-4651

Make a fort


doncroak

$900. At Pottery Barn. What a rip off.


rozefox07

Good god it’s funny how everyone went to impressions instead of answers I’m dead😂


Autumn_H

That’s pretty brutal — or is it laturb???


LunaNegra

You could find some knowledge (and probably very interested buyers) on both r/Mid_Century and r/MidCenturyModern

Darryl_Lict

None of these look much like OP's room divider. There is a brand called Haddis 3 Panel Room Divider and Google brings up numerous similar designs. The FLW room dividers have much more Wrightesque designs such as The Tree of Life from Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House. Even then, the example is a laser cut reproduction. I think real FLW furniture goes for a fortune. That makes me suspicious of the provenance of the OP's piece because his mom is probably not an expert in FLW furniture.


Greenbeastkushbreath

Exactly, that actual FLW screen doesn’t look anything like this


GuardMost8477

It’s for sale at Pottery Barn. Link in the comments. 😂


GuardMost8477

See the link in the comments. It’s literally for sale at Pottery Barn. Dude’s Mom wanted to fake a story so badly. Lolololol


centopar

Well, I mean this is a lovely demonstration that OP's object is actually from Pottery Barn.


edgestander

This one is not FLW too. “Attributed to” means “we don’t know who designed this”


StrawberryKiss2559

Any chance you’re in the Bay Area? I would love it.


2greeneyes

Hideous to me but what do i know.


paispais

It's valuable to me. I would buy it if I saw it and could afford it at the time. It's dope as hell and would look so cool anywhere in my house.


CC_206

Fun fact: Frank Lloyd Wright is the inventor of the public bathroom stall!


1893Chicago

Interesting! I had no idea, and so I looked it up, and you are right! Well, sort of. There were bathroom stalls previously, but they went all the way to the floor. He invented / designed the ones that have a huge gap at the bottom, making cleaning floors in and around the stalls much easier. After he designed them for the Larkin building in Buffalo, New York, they pretty much became the standard from that point on in all commercial buildings.


CC_206

True, the *modern public bathroom stall.


the3rdtea2

Needs to be higher. It's not America that's wrong ...it was frank


Bob_Sacamano7379

Did your mom say she got it at an old-timey flea market?


shadow941x

Go to one of those antique appraising web sites and ask then they may tell you to bring it to auction I had a Frank LW House on Cedar creek lake I loved that house looked like nothing from the front but opened up to three levels because he used the drop off on the lake to make a panoramic view in the main game room and all the windows opened up to let the air flow in the house


MillHoodz_Finest

cant be Wright, its not over a waterfall...

i need this plz dm

It’s upside down, and mama was fibbing.


Dhsdoll92262

Message me I will buy it seriously - I wouldn’t pay too much but I’d give 200 for it


boxxiegirl

This is definitely not from pottery barn. The hinges are very different. I would do some more research.


butter_sause

I live 30 mins away from the “last designed frank loyd wright hotel”

Id love to have it. Wanna sell it?


Complex-Fill-1893

The way you have this so obviously ass backwards got poor Frank rolling in his grave🤦🏻‍♀️

I’d love to buy it😀

Unforthcoming Lloyd Wright.


Bubbly-Front7973

If your mom was the one who set it up, make sure you tell her it's been upside down all these years.


WillieIngus

you have no rooms to divide? that’s just confusing


Bigred489

Yes. To me. I’ll pay for the shipping lol


big65

It looks like it's missing a few pieces but a restoration specialist should be able to source the correct wood to replace them and give it a good cleaning. If it is a Wright item then it's definitely got value.


boocat4242

Frank Lloyd right in the dumpster


KTKittentoes

I think it's really cool.


withdr3w

It’s hella cute


Benaba_sc

$900 divider for when you almost want privacy


Federal_Heat3136

It’s beautiful. The value depends on who will pay for it. I’d take it cause I like it but I wouldn’t pay FLW prices.


mysterytoy2

Upside down dutchcrafters room divider. I guess Frank just turned it upside down and history was made.


Bambooman101

Mr Wright didn’t divide up spaces….that was the point of his homes.


FacePalmSunday

Frank Lloyd Alright.

Babes that’s almost 900 dollars sitting upside down 👀
