Collection Of Antique 19th-century Hand-held Screens

The understated charm of interiors of yesteryear...

Before central heating made this now-forgotten gesture a thing of the past, these elegant hand-held screens delicately shielded the face from the heat of fireplaces and stoves.

Today we’re offering a superb collection of 19th-century fireplace screens, each one unique, reflecting the refined taste of their era.

????️ Lithographed designs of landscapes and rural scenes.
???? A charming model embroidered in petit point depicting a bird nestled beneath a wreath of foliage.
???? Two particularly unusual pieces feature, on the reverse, actual geographical descriptions dedicated to Italy and Turkey, reminiscent of 19th-century educational and decorative objects.
???? Another still retains its design of a peaceful snow-covered village.

Time has left a few marks and some gaps, but that is precisely what gives them the authenticity that collectors seek so highly. They can be displayed as is, framed, or used to enhance the decor of a castle, a family home, or a chic country interior.

These objects have become rare, straddling the line between folk art, the decorative arts, and memories of a daily life that has now vanished.

✨ All available at the warehouse.
