Vintage Gilt Fire Screen
This is a beautifully restored vintage gilt fire screen. The screen features an ornate, pierced design, likely crafted from brass or a similar metal and finished with a gold gilt. It would have originally been positioned before a fireplace to prevent embers from escaping, while still allowing heat to radiate into the room. The intricate detailing suggests a Victorian or Edwardian period origin, adding a touch of elegance to any fireplace setting.
Condition
This fire screen has undergone professional restoration and polishing, bringing out the richness of the gilt finish. While the restoration work has been completed to a high standard, it is important to note that this is a vintage item and may exhibit minor imperfections consistent with age and previous use. This piece would be a desirable addition to a collection of antique fireplace accessories, or a statement piece for someone looking to add a touch of vintage charm to their home.
