The screen is made of walnut of rectangular form with serpentine top and ribbon crest, inset with an Aubusson style needlework tapestry panel with floral motif. The screen is accented with brass tack trim and stands on trestle feet. These screen were used to keep sparks from a fire from entering the room. It provided a shield from the heat as well. They were also used when there was no fire burning as a decorative feature to cover the opening in the fireplace.
