This pair of late Regency pole screens dates to circa 1830 in the grand style. The dark brown rosewood frames stand upon hand-carved tripartite bases with paw feet, supporting turned shafts with delicate finials at the top. Each pole holds an adjustable rectangular panel; one displays a vivid floral spray in pink, yellow and green needlepoint tapestry, while the other shows a flowering fruit design in reddish-brown tones. Mouldings frame each tapestry insert, and the timber exhibits a polished finish. Measuring 144 cm high, 58 cm wide and 58 cm deep, these functional pieces protect faces from fireplace heat. They sit beside a fireplace hearth in a traditional living space or drawing room, where the adjustable height allows the panels to be positioned as needed.

FAQs

A Regency pole screen is a functional decorative hearth accessory originating in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, designed to shield a sitters face from the direct heat of an open fire.

These items were predominantly constructed from hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, featuring turned timber poles, carved tripod bases, and framed textile panels woven with needlepoint tapestry.

Authentic Regency examples display period construction details including hand-turned central shafts, carved paw or tripod feet, brass screw fittings for height adjustment, and age-appropriate wear to the original timber finish.

Contemporary designers style pole screens in pairs flanking a traditional fireplace or fireplace alcove, or as vertical sculptural accents in formal drawing rooms and reading nooks.

Maintain the timber using high-grade beeswax polish, position the screens away from direct heat sources to prevent warping, and keep needlepoint panels out of direct sunlight to avoid textile fading.
