Hi Michael,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Unless you've had the wood tested and its confirmed sheesham, it could also be made of teakwood, which was - and still is - an extremely popular wood for these floor screens.
When these midcentury screens come to auction, they usually sell between $ 800 and $1,200.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
