About the Item

A French fireplace screen, made circa 1890 of bamboo, recently updated in England with ebonized (painted) finish and decoupaged horticultural theme of hyacinth, butterflies, and dragonflies. Screens like this were intended to prevent coals, embers and sparks from escaping the fireplace, while keeping clothing, pets and small children out. In warmer months, when the fireplace is not in use, a firescreen will add interest and obscure the empty fireplace from sight. We think this screen could be equally interesting as a clothing valet in the bedroom. Original manufacturing tag from Perret & Vibert of Paris, “House of Bamboo”, affixed to the frame. Be sure to view all the images for a closer look at this wonderful antique.
