FAQs

A pole screen is an adjustable standing shield introduced in the eighteenth century to protect sitters from the direct heat of an open fireplace and prevent wax makeup from melting. It consists of a tall vertical rod supported by a tripod or weighted base, holding a movable framed panel made from needlework, tapestry, or painted silk.

Victorian fire screens were predominantly crafted from rich hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and walnut. The decorative central panels featured detailed hand embroidery, needlepoint, or glazed silk panels protected by glass.

Authentic period examples feature hand-turned or hand-carved solid wood construction, historical brass adjustment mechanisms or threaded knobs, and signs of age such as natural patination and period-appropriate joinery beneath the base.

An antique pole screen can be positioned alongside a modern or period fireplace hearth, or placed in an empty room corner to serve as a decorative sculptural accent that highlights historic textile craft.

Keep the screen positioned away from direct sunlight and modern high-heat sources to avoid fading or drying out the wood and textiles. Dust the wooden frame with a soft dry cloth and clean the glass panel gently without allowing liquids to seep into the needlework frame.
