This pair of Hepplewhite pole screens dates from the 19th century and brings traditional English Country House charm to a sitting room or fireplace hearth. Each screen comprises a shaped, hand-painted panel depicting a classical dancing maiden surrounded by foliage and wheat husks on a cream ground, mounted on a slender turned column with an acorn finial at the top and an urn detail near the base. The woodwork is finished in yellow and cream paint, complemented by delicate decorative motifs. The structure is supported by a tripod base with spade feet, providing stability. Measuring 140 cm in height and 26.5 cm in width, these decorative screens are positioned near a hearth to provide protection from radiant fireplace heat. They make a practical and refined addition to period interiors, adding classic neo-classical elegance beside a working fireplace or as standalone decorative accents in a drawing room.

FAQs

Popularised during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a pole screen is a small, adjustable panel mounted on a tall vertical pole supported by a tripod base. Designed to shield a seated persons face from the direct heat of an open fire, George Hepplewhites designs often incorporated elegant shield-shaped panels and slender spade feet.

These pieces typically feature frameworks carved from hardwoods such as mahogany or painted timber. The adjustable panels frequently showcase painted neoclassical scenes, needlework, silk embroidery, or paper decoupage, secured with turned friction knobs or brass fittings.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-carved joinery, slender tripod legs terminating in spade or cabriole feet, and period-correct adjustment mechanisms on the central shaft. Surface finishes often display natural patination, fine craquelure on painted panels, and age-appropriate wear near functional components.

Positioning a pair of pole screens symmetrically on either side of a mantlepiece or hearth creates architectural balance in a reception room. They can also serve as decorative floor accents in quiet reading corners, foyers, or flanking an entry console.

Keep the screens away from modern radiators and direct sunlight to prevent drying, warping, or flaking of the painted layers. Dust gently using a dry, soft brush or microfibre cloth without applying liquid polishes or chemical solvents.
