This 1890 Art Nouveau fireplace accessory is an English Country House firescreen fashioned from warm gold brass and mirror glass. The object stands on twin pedestal feet supports, featuring a curved carrying handle at the top above an embossed repousse frieze with repeating stylized heart motifs. A central glass panel is set within the brass surround, decorated with etched glass showing three stylised trees. The metal surface displays a warm metallic finish with natural oxidation and wear visible across the framework. Measuring 81 cm high, 51 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, this firescreen functions as practical hearth decor in a living room, study, or bedroom fireplace setting. It positions directly in front of an active or decorative fireplace opening to shield the room from embers or simply to add period ornamentation to the hearth area.

FAQs

Art Nouveau fireplace accessories are characterised by naturalistic forms, sinuous curves, whiplash lines, and organic motifs such as plants, trees, and stylised hearts. Metalwork from this movement often combines functionality with decorative repousse panels and decorative glass inserts.

Late 19th and early 20th-century firescreens were commonly constructed using sheet brass, copper, wrought iron, and cast iron frame structures. Panels often incorporated bevelled mirror glass, etched leaded glass, embroidered textiles, or hand-painted tiles.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-riveted joints, folded metal seams, and hand-hammered repousse work. Naturally aged brass often exhibits uneven patination, minor oxidisation in crevices, and wear consistent with age.

A brass firescreen can be placed on a stone or tiled hearth in front of an unlit fireplace grate to create a focal point. The reflective mirrored surface helps bounce light across the room, making it suitable for both historic and modern living spaces.

Clean brass frames using a soft, dry microfibre cloth to remove dust without stripping original patination. Glass panels should be cleaned with a mild, non-ammonia glass cleaner applied directly to a cloth rather than sprayed directly onto the frame to prevent liquid seeping behind the metal borders.
