About the Item
Musical trophies were popular motifs for art and furniture during the reign of Louis XVI, as this period coincided with the discoveries of Pompeii and Herculaneum, resulting in increased inspiration from ancient cultures such as Greece and Rome. This beautiful French bronze firescreen has a central musical trophy, indicative of Louis XVI-style furniture from the 1800s.
The asymmetrical trophy depicts a few musical instruments accompanied by a quiver of arrows, flowers, branches, and a crinkle ribbon. Additional crinkle ribbons can be seen on each of the canted corners of the rectangular screen. Other classically inspired motifs include bundled fasces of olive branches, pot feu, husked wreaths, fluting, and Vitruvian waves. A foliate and floral crest rises at the top of the screen, consisting of a flowering wreath tied by a crinkled ribbon to two olive branches. Both of the curvaceous legs are embellished with a leafy husk, before splaying out, forming a total of four hoof feet. Our Louis XVI-style bronze firescreen would make a visually stunning addition to any fireplace.

Period French Louis XVI Giltwood Firescreen, circa 1780
Located in Dallas, TX
This Louis XVI period giltwood firescreen is a rather unique find. Typically firescreens from this period (the late 1700’s) were produced with a tapestry or needlepoint body; this particular piece has a solid colored (gold) silk upholstery screen which meshes well with the giltwood frame. Firescreens were used during warmer months to cover the opening of the fireplace.
The detachable crest (which can be removed to replace or reupholster the screen) has bell shaped finials on the shoulders that are connected by a raised carving. These elements are surrounded by slightly spiral gadrooning. Beneath the crest is a repeating laurel leaf motif that runs all the way around the border. The ornamentation is double sided.
