Double-sided Regency-era Fireplace Screen In Carved Oak

A double-sided solid oak fireplace screen, characteristic of the Regency style (circa 1715–1730). This piece features bold ornamentation, finely openwork and identically carved on both sides. The design is organized around a strict symmetry typical of this transitional period: large central shells framed by palmettes and cascading foliage.

The dynamic frame rests on a sturdy base ending in heavily curled feet, ensuring perfect stability.

The main appeal of this screen lies in its structural integrity. It was crafted using traditional early 18th-century cabinetmaking techniques with a fully doweled construction. The piece features a deep, natural antique patina.
