it has five panels ...the paintin is beautifull ,fruit ,horns ,birds...i know its a screen just would like to know more if possible thanksx

From what I can tell from the pictures that appears to be early 1800's screen, as painted leather 3-fold and 4-fold screens were popular then. Values vary widely based on collectors wants and condition of the piece. It would be worth the time taking it to a reputable antique shop specializing in furniture of that era and get it appraised for insurance purposes.
