Rare 19th Century Solid Walnut, Etched Glass, and Bronze Fire Screen with Adjustable Doors.

19th century
Description

Very rare 19th century solid walnut adjustable glass firescreen with Greek key design etched glass side doors and a clear glass central panel. Surmounted with a carved walnut arched top, the doors can remain closed or open straight for use as a room divider, or open at any angle to accommodate various fire openings. The whole stands securely on bronze feet.

A very unusual and beautiful screen in very good condition, the wood in a very warm colour.

Size-48 inches tall by 27 inches wide closed, and maximum 54 inches wide with doors fully opened. Width of the feet are 14.5 inches.

A very decorative as well as functional piece. It can be used to section off a conversation area or to divide a room, or for its original purpose in front of the fire. Also, it is a very decorative piece even on its own, to be the focal point of the room.

The ultimate in recycling, buying and using antique furniture is a beautiful and functional way to start an heirloom collection for your family.

I have never seen another similar to this one.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian fire screens were designed to protect room occupants and delicate furnishings from direct radiant heat, flying embers, and intense light generated by open hearth fires.

Constructors commonly utilised hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, and rosewood for frames, alongside etched glass panels, embroidered silk, and bronze or brass hardware.

Authentic pieces display hand-carved joinery details, acid-etched glass patterns, natural wood patina, and cast metal feet with age-appropriate oxidisation.

An antique screen can be placed on a fireplace hearth, within an unlit alcove, or positioned as a decorative spatial divider in modern living spaces.

Dust the timber frame regularly with a soft cloth, apply beeswax sparingly to preserve the finish, and clean glass surfaces with a non-abrasive, alcohol-based cleaner.
