About the Item
This antique French giltwood framed oval needlepoint firescreen was originally used to cover the opening of the fireplace during the warmer months when the fireplace was not in use. It dates from the Napoleon III period, which puts this in the mid1800s range. The oval giltwood frame has double sided ornamentation and a central cartouche of a needlepoint floral composition in a vase. The back of the needlepoint is lined with a compatible color of plain silk. The motifs are egg and dart, scoop patterns, acanthus leaves, shells, margents, husks and c-scrolls. The screen is supported at either end with acanthus leaf posts on double cabriole legs and scrolling feet. The large oval shape is a rare form to find in French firescreens.

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.
