AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The fireplace screen has seen extensive use and, considering its age, is in reasonable to good condition.
The mirror glass is bevelled and shows the characteristic signs of age, with discolouration and spots on the reverse side. The frame is made of brass and the feet are cast bronze; the material has stains, spots and patina.
The fireplace screen has been exposed to intense heat several times, causing the back of the screen to become weathered or damaged.
It also has the usual signs of wear, such as dents, scratches, stains or spots, and discolouration.

As this is a very old fireplace screen that has lived a full life, all its 'imperfections' also make it a very decorative item. It would even look beautiful in an interior without a fireplace.

Height to the tip of the handle: 66 cm; without the handle: 57.5 cm.
Width: 40 cm.
Depth of the feet: 15 cm.
Weight: approx. 4 kg.

Please look at the photos, as they form part of the description.
This lot will be carefully packaged and shipped nationally and internationally with tracking and registered post.
