What were Victorian fire screens used for?
1 Answer
Victorian fire screens were used for safety, and this is why people continue to use them to this day. When placed in front of the fireplace, the screen prevents sparks from flying out into the room. In addition, screens reduce glare and lessen heat output, making it more pleasant to sit in front of a crackling fire. Shop a variety of fireplace screens on 1stDibs.
