Pole screens were designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to protect a persons face from the intense radiant heat of an open fireplace, preventing makeup from melting.

They were typically crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, featuring an adjustable wooden or brass upright pole on a weighted base, with a framed panel holding embroidery, tapestry, or fabric.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-carved details such as barley twist stems or scrolling feet, and traditional patination on the timber consistent with 19th-century manufacturing techniques.

A pole screen functions effectively as a decorative accent piece in a living room corner or beside a fireplace, adding vertical interest and historical texture to modern spaces.

Preservation involves keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
