This exquisite piece features a graceful oval silhouette framed in ornate cast brass (or bronze) with a rich, gilded finish. The design is distinguished by its intricate central appliqué, showcasing a romantic ribbon bow knot that suspends a cascading floral basket and foliate swag, capturing the essence of Rococo and Neoclassical artistry. The screen is topped with a decorative handle flanked by acanthus leaves, making it as portable as it is beautiful.

Measuring 19 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 29.25 inches tall, this petite screen is perfectly scaled for a smaller fireplace opening or as a purely decorative "summer screen" to add visual interest to an unused hearth. The fine wire mesh background provides a subtle texture while allowing heat to radiate. It is in great vintage condition, with the metal exhibiting a warm, aged patina and minor oxidation that highlights the depth of the casting and adds authentic Old World charm. Add this sophisticated accessory to your living room or bedroom to infuse your space with Parisian luxury and timeless tradition. See less
