Antique Dutch Arts and Crafts Firescreen w. Copper, Coil-Like Handle Decoration
Located in Lisse, NL
Stunning and modest size firescreen, top quality workmanship, ca 1900.
If this superbly hand-crafted Arts and Crafts fire screen is the right style to fit your fireplace or living space and the size is correct as well then you could hardly wish for a better condition one. It stands as strong and stable as the day it was hand-crafted over 100 years ago and this stylish antique has just the right amount of style elements. Not too few and not too many. The combination of the design, the materials and the exceptional workmanship makes this sleek antique truly impressive. There is a minimalistic coolness about Dutch Arts and Crafts antiques that seems to appeal to collectors on all continents and when a piece is as well excecuted as this museum quality screen then the English saying 'quality always sells' should again prove to be right. We certainly are convinced this one of a kind antique too will find the perfect home soon. For those who did not yet know, this work-of-art-firescreen would be placed in front of the fireplace in the summer so that the estate owners would not have to look into the darkish fireplace opening. It can (and probably will) again be used as such, but this aesthetic beauty could nowadays also be used as a small room divider or simply on display for the attractive work of art that she is. If you already have a space or place in mind for this antique screen then maybe you should be its next custodian.

Replica of an antique original. Produced exactly as it used to be made ??and they are thus difficult to distinguish from an old original.
Important advantage of this type of fire screen is that, while elegant, you don't really notice it, you just enjoy the fire. It is of a simple yet elegant simplicity. It is beautiful, rustic and classic. It quietly enhances the fireplace's charm. It is present without taking the attention away from the fire and the other fireplace accessories. The black color of this new handmade screen supports this effect.
The holes in the mesh are small enough to protect against the sparks, but large enough to limit the heat radiation of the fireplace as little as possible.
The fireplace screen fits in both a classic and a modern interior.
center panel: 50 cm (19.7") wide, Side panels: each 20 cm (7.9") wide.
The functional width is 6 cm (2.4") less for the firescreen to stand by itself, or a functional width of 57 cm (23") up to 89 cm (35"). At a width of 57 cm (23") the screen is 22 cm (8.7") deep and at 89 cm (35") wide it is 13 cm (5.1") deep.
Color: black (matt).
This fireplace screen is handmade and can therefore show imperfections (paint, finish, etc.) that do not occur in industrial production. We cannot provide any guarantees on these imperfections.
We can deliver this type of fireplace screen in different sizes. The number of panels can vary from 2 to 6. It is also available in several heights. It cannot be customized, but due to the possible variations it is suitable for most fireplaces. Contrary to popular belief, it is often not necessary for the fireplace screen to cover the entire height of the inside of the fireplace. A height of 50 cm (19.7") is usually sufficient for a fire screen if a quiet fire is lit with dry, suitable wood.

Antique and Modern Fireplace Tools and Chimney Pots
If your chilly winter nights are largely spent warming up by the fireplace, you’re going to need a set of antique or vintage fireplace tools and chimney pots to keep things tidy.
There’s something intrinsically primal yet comforting about having a fire in one’s home. A fire in a fabulous antique fireplace brings warmth, both literal and intangible, to a living room, den or bedroom. On a cold, snowy night, there is nothing quite so satisfying as having a warm cup of mulled wine and watching the flames dance in golden splendor.
Of course, one needs the accompanying accoutrements to keep a fireplace orderly. However, newly minted tools may not match the carefully considered decor and specific furniture style that you had in mind for your space. Fortunately, antique and vintage fireplace tools were so well made that they still work decades later. These pieces also have the added benefit of being quite stylish and elegant in their design so they won’t stand out in a minimalist space.
Andirons keep the logs off the floor of the fireplace so air can better circulate and keep the fire bright. An andiron, importantly, will prevent a burning log from rolling out of a fireplace and keep a fire burning evenly as well as prevent any mess from accumulating. Some andirons are simple iron brackets to elevate the wood, but others are more ornate baskets that introduce a touch of luxury to the fireplace.
Chimney pots are extensions added to the top of a smokestack. They’re completely visible from your home’s exterior, so choose one that you love. We like a tapered terracotta version. A chimney pot will elongate the chimney as well as help draft air to keep a fire alight. It may also prevent smoke from billowing around the room, which is, of course, extremely hazardous to your health. A fire’s smoke will also damage your furniture as well as any adjacent art. Smoke and soot can stain, leaving things to look dreary and dark. Chimney pots were very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Victorian-era chimney pots still make for an attractive addition to contemporary homes.
We can all agree that a fireplace is going to elevate your space. To complete the look, find a collection of antique and vintage fireplace tools and chimney pots today on 1stDibs.
