The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Regency pole screen was designed during the 18th and 19th centuries to protect a sitting persons face from the direct heat and glare of an open fireplace hearth. The adjustable shield could be raised or lowered along a central wooden or metal pole to block radiant heat while maintaining room air circulation.

Pole screens were typically constructed using carved timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, or carved pine with water-gilded finishing. The central shields held decorative embroidered silk, needlework, painted fabric, or glass panels, supported on cast brass fittings and tripod bases.

Authentic period giltwood pieces feature hand-carved joinery, layered gesso undercoats beneath real gold leaf gilding, and signs of natural age-related oxidisation. The height adjustment mechanisms often display original brass tension thumbscrews, square-headed iron fasteners, and slight irregularities from hand craftsmanship.

An antique pole screen serves as a decorative architectural accent when placed beside a modern fireplace, positioned in an unused room corner, or styled alongside traditional armchairs. The vertical proportions add sculptural interest and historic texture to contemporary living areas.

Giltwood surfaces should be gently cleaned with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding liquid cleaners which dissolve historic gesso and gold leaf. Needlework and silk panels require protection from direct sunlight, moisture, and high heat sources to prevent thread degradation and fading.
