FAQs

Pole screens were introduced in the eighteenth century to protect occupants from the intense direct heat of open fires while preserving facial makeup, which was often wax-based. The adjustable design allowed the decorative panel to be raised or lowered along a vertical rod to block radiant heat effectively.

Victorian pole screens were commonly crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut for the pole and tripod base. The screen panels frequently featured hand-embroidered textiles, including wool needlepoint or silk stitchwork, set within turned or carved timber frames.

Authentic nineteenth-century pole screens display hand-carved details, turned columns, and weighted tripod bases designed to prevent tipping. The textile panels generally show signs of natural ageing, hand-stitched construction, and original brass adjustment fittings on the reverse.

An antique pole screen can be placed adjacent to a traditional fireplace hearth, within a reading nook, or beside a classic armchair. The embroidered panel introduces textile texture and historical interest into contemporary living rooms or formal sitting areas.

To preserve needlework panels, position the screen away from direct sunlight and damp environments to prevent fading and textile decay. Dust the timber frame gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid applying liquid cleaners or polishes to the fabric.
