Regency Rosewood Pole Screen with Needlework Face Screen, Circa 1820

19th century
Description

A charming Regency rosewood pole screen, circa 1820, retaining its decorative needlework face screen.

The shaped screen is inset with an attractive period-style floral needlework panel, worked with a central bouquet and floral corner motifs in softly muted colours. The rosewood frame has a gently bowed lower edge and is surmounted by a finely carved and pierced crest with scrolling decoration.

The screen is mounted on a slender rosewood pole with a turned finial and brass adjustable fitting, allowing the height of the face screen to be altered. The pole rises from a particularly attractive turned and carved baluster support with lotus-style detailing.

Raised on a triangular platform base with concave sides, terminating in three small bun feet.

Pole screens were designed to shield the face from the direct heat of a fire and became both practical and highly decorative pieces of furniture in Regency interiors.

English, circa 1820.

The item measures 138 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 35 cm deep. Placed near a fireplace hearth or in a living room, it functions as a decorative accessory and historic accent piece.

FAQs

A Regency pole screen is a freestanding 19th-century fireplace accessory comprising an adjustable panel supported by a vertical central rod and tripod base, originally intended to shield faces from hearth heat.

These screens were commonly crafted from hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, featuring an adjustable wooden frame set with hand-worked needlepoint, embroidery, or silk panels.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-turned wooden columns, original brass or carved adjusting screw mechanisms, age-appropriate patination, and period-correct textile backing techniques.

Place the screen adjacent to a fireplace hearth, alongside an armchair in a reading nook, or in an empty alcove to introduce height, timber tones, and historic textile texture.

Position the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood warping and thread fading, dust timber elements with a clean microfibre cloth, and brush needlework lightly with a soft brush.
