About the Item
English or French, 19th century.
Behold the exquisite charm of the 19th century brought to life in this fine and unusual Chinoiserie decorated gilt bamboo fire screen. A testament to the fascination with the Orient that characterized this era, this piece combines artistic prowess with functional elegance in a way that is both rare and captivating.
Crafted in the 1800s, this fire screen showcases the intricate artistry of Chinoiserie, a design style heavily influenced by Chinese motifs and aesthetics. The bamboo frame, painstakingly adorned with gilt detailing, emulates the opulence associated with the Victorian era.
The Chinoiserie decoration, rendered in vibrant colors and delicate brushwork, features enchanting scenes inspired by Chinese landscapes and mythology. This exceptional work of art is framed by the bamboo's organic elegance, creating a striking juxtaposition between the exotic and the natural.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this fire screen served a practical purpose, shielding the room from the heat of the fireplace. Its folding design allows for easy placement and storage when not in use, making it a versatile and functional piece of decor.
This piece comes from a Bellevue Ave home in Newport Rhode Island.
