Because a friend in Portland is restoring her turn-of-the-century house and looking at period window blinds, I have included a couple of pictures for her perusal. It just happens to have my Mom and sister in the foreground.
On the far right, the folding blinds were in four pieces for each window, hooked in the center, and each panel had the blinds that opened and closed with a single wooden bar. Note the original stained wood throughout the house...the original dining room built-in...and the door behind Tara's head was to the entryway which went to the front door and the large walk-in closet for coats, boots, skis, ice skates, sleds, etc. I'd love to have that house now! Just...not in Oshkosh.
Those are neat shutters. That's what I envisioned when you described them. =)
