Description from the seller
Description
Fireplace screen or screen made of darkened pearwood with gilding, stretched with hand-painted silk of flower bouquets on an eighteenth Napoleon III era green background
The other side features crimson silk
In Very good condition: the back silk may show some lack of freshness and cracks
Dimensions: 100 cm high by 41 cm wide (including the feet)
This fireplace screen dates from the late 19th century, fitting the French Empire style that was popular at that time. The frame is bamboo (or faux bamboo) painted black with gold accents, surrounding a fabric panel embroidered with delicate floral motifs.
Fireplace screens like this were both functional and decorative in bourgeois interiors of the period. They are particularly sought after by collectors of decorative antiques and by design enthusiasts for their elegance and craftsmanship. These pieces are valued for their ability to add a touch of exoticism and refinement to contemporary décor.
