How do I use a pole screen?

Adjust the height of the central panel along the vertical pole to sit between your face and the heat of the open fire. Position the tripod base at a comfortable distance from the hearth so the screen blocks radiant warmth while remaining clear of stray embers.

Can these screens sit near working fireplaces?

They were originally designed to protect sitters from excessive fireplace heat, making them suitable for placement near modern decorative hearths. Exercise caution with intense open fires, as prolonged extreme heat can dry out historic timbers and delicate textiles over time.

How do I clean textile panels?

Gently dust the embroidered surface using a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum attachment protected by mesh. Avoid liquid cleaners or water on antique woolwork and silk, as moisture can cause shrinkage or destabilize historic dyes.

How do I identify a Regency piece?

Regency items typically display clean classical lines, restrained ornamentation, and dark timbers like rosewood or mahogany. They often predate the heavier ornamentation associated with later Victorian revivals while maintaining the same functional purpose.
