FAQs

An armorial fire screen is a free-standing decorative panel crafted during the Victorian era, designed to protect occupants from direct fireplace heat while showcasing family heraldry embroidered onto textile panels.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, combined with hand-stitched wool or silk needlepoint panels set on canvas.

Authentic period examples display hand-carved timber frameworks with period joinery, natural dye variations in the textile, and hand-worked wool needlepoint showing minor age-related fading on the front compared to the reverse.

Position the screen on a fireplace hearth, within an empty alcove, or as a decorative room accent to introduce texture and historic provenance into contemporary schemes.

Dust the timber frame gently with a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically, while keeping the textile panel out of direct sunlight and cleaning it only with low-suction conservation dusting.
