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 Rococo style fire screen is a hearth accessory characterised by asymmetrical C-scrolls, acanthus leaf foliage, rocaille motifs, and elaborate metalwork, popularised during the Louis XV period and revived throughout the nineteenth century.

Nineteenth-century fire screens were typically constructed using cast or stamped brass, bronze, wrought iron, and mahogany frames, often enclosing woven wire mesh, embroidered fabric panels, or painted glass.

Authentic pieces feature heavy cast construction, hand-chased surface decoration, period-appropriate joinery such as threaded brass bolts or rivets, and natural oxidisation within the recessed areas of the metalwork.

Place the fire screen directly on the fireplace hearth in front of an unlit grate to conceal coal boxes or ash, complementing both traditional marble surrounds and contemporary minimalist fireplaces.

Dust the screen regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft bristle brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes that strip original patination from the brass and damage the fine wire mesh.
