George III Sheraton Pole or Fire Screen, Circa 1790

18th century
Description

A fine quality George III Sheraton pole screen, a remarkable artifact from the year 1790. It’s a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Sheraton period, constructed from the finest quality satinwood.

The pole screen features an adjustable oval stumpwork, a type of embroidery where the stitched figures are raised from the surface of the work to form a 3-dimensional effect. This stumpwork showcases a vibrant harvest scene, meticulously embroidered on silk.

What sets this piece apart is the extraordinary detail in the painted faces. Each face is remarkably well-preserved, retaining the original colours and demonstrating the artisan’s attention to detail. The colours remain vivid and bright, a testament to the quality of the materials used and the care taken in its preservation.

In summary, this George III Sheraton pole screen is not just a piece of furniture, but a piece of history, embodying the elegance and refinement of the Sheraton period. Its excellent condition and the retained vibrancy of its colours make it a valuable collector’s item. It’s a true embodiment of artistry and craftsmanship from the late 18th century.

FAQs

A George III pole screen is an eighteenth-century hearth accessory featuring an adjustable decorative panel mounted on a slender vertical pole. Designed primarily to shade a sitters face from direct fireplace heat, these pieces frequently featured framed needlework panels.

Sheraton period pole screens were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or satinwood for the frame and central pole. The decorative screen panels frequently incorporated hand-stitched silk needlework or tapestry protected behind glass.

Authentic pieces display period-accurate construction, including hand-carved joinery, brass adjustment mechanisms, and natural wear along the central pole. Textile panels typically display age-appropriate fading, hand-spun threads, and original wooden backboard fixings.

A Georgian pole screen serves as a historic accent when placed beside a hearth, reading armchair, or decorative alcove. The intricate textile work provides visual texture and historical interest within contemporary living spaces.

Position the screen away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to prevent textile deterioration and timber movement. Clean the wooden frame using a soft dry cloth and avoid chemical polishes near the silk needlework.
