Aramis Antiques has dated this piece to the 1930s.
The frame, and elaborate inner panels of scrolls and foliage, is completely lined with strong mesh, to ward off the fire sparks. The top of the frame curves upwards into a double scroll which forms a very efficient handle. The metal has a verdigris type finish. It’s impressive decorative design will screen the fireplace well when not in use, as well as being a spark guard when the fire is lit. Excellent condition and good working order.
