Design & Structure
• Material: The screen is made of metal with a bright gold-toned brass finish, giving it a timeless, glamorous feel.
• Panels: It consists of two hinged panels, forming a simple folding screen. The frame of each panel is defined with clean, squared edges, maintaining a symmetrical and tailored look.

Decorative Details
• Mesh Inset: The center of each panel is filled with a fine brass mesh, providing both function and style—suitable for catching sparks while allowing visibility and airflow.
• Geometric Pattern: Overlaid on the mesh is a striking diamond lattice design created from flat brass strips. This pattern adds visual texture and a sense of refinement without being overly ornate.
• Feet/Base: The feet are shaped into classic scrolling curves, which lend a subtle nod to traditional or Art Deco styling while adding stability and elegance.

Style & Era
• Likely mid-century or late 20th century, but inspired by earlier neoclassical and Art Deco forms.
• The clean latticework and polished gold finish make it especially suited for Hollywood Regency, French Moderne, or coastal-luxe interiors.

Creative Use Suggestions

Beyond its functional use at the hearth, this piece could:
• Be repurposed as a sculptural backdrop for a shell-adorned vignette.
• Act as a screen for a faux fireplace installation or decorative alcove. See less
