How did people use pole screens?

Occupants positioned pole screens between their seating and the fireplace to deflect excessive radiant heat from their faces and complex hairstyles. The height of the panel was adjusted manually along the vertical shaft as the fire burned down or the room temperature shifted.

What materials make up these screens?

Frames typically employ cabinet timbers such as mahogany, walnut, rosewood and oak, alongside polished metals like brass, copper and iron. Internal panels incorporate textiles including woolwork, silk embroidery and needlepoint, or occasionally painted metal and glass.

How do I date a brass fire screen?

Stylistic indicators help identify the period, with Rococo Revival and elaborate floral embossing pointing to the mid-nineteenth century. Simpler geometric lines, patinated copper and unadorned folding sections more frequently suggest later Arts and Crafts or Edwardian manufacture.

Where should I place a screen at home?

These pieces fit naturally before an unused or seasonal fireplace hearth to introduce texture, colour and period character to a room. Folding brass guards and heavy wooden frames also function well freestanding against walls or empty chimney breasts as decorative focal points.
