I'm having hard time understanding this paragraph can someone plz rephrase it for me?

In 1913, she exhibited for the first time at the Societe des Artistes Decorateurs with a lacquered burgundy screen named, "le Destin". Demonstrated abstract decoration on one side and figurative on the other of youths carrying an old man in a shroud, the lacquered screen created a sensation at the exhibit. Le Destin captured the attention of Jacques Doucet, an art patron and collector. Miss. Doucet bought the screen and soon commissioned Eileen Gray to design more furniture pieces. One of Doucet's famous contributions to the world of art and design was his creation of his studio at Neuilly, sadly dismantled years ago. Doucet's studio displayed many works of artists who became influential to many generations – Rousseau's The Snake Charmer, Pico's abstract work, Les Demoiselles D'Avignon, a Modigliani portrait, a Lalique sculpted crystal door, a Brancusi sculpture and of course, Eileen Gray's Lotus table. Lacquered in deep green, the table is decorated with gold amber rings and silk tels at its corner.
