Description from the seller
Victorian/Edwardian English fireplace screen – mesh and fine metal mesh – ca. 1900
Beautiful and decorative English antique fireplace screen, executed in a characteristic late Victorian/early Edwardian style, presumably dating from ca. 1890–1910.
The screen consists of several hinged panels and is equipped with an elegant brass frame with finely meshed metal mesh. The panels feature a beautifully curved, arch-shaped upper section, giving the whole a particularly stylish and balanced appearance.
The screen was originally intended as a fire screen/fire guard for an open fireplace, to keep sparks at bay while offering partial protection against heat. Due to its decorative appearance, it can today also be used as a remarkable interior or fireplace decoration.
The combination of the dark mesh with the brass profiles gives the object an authentic English look that fits well in a classic, country, cottage, or antique interior.
