This authentic vintage fireplace screen is formed by five articulated folding panels, combining a warm brass frame with a black metal mesh designed to protect the hearth area from sparks while maintaining visibility of the fire. Solid and functional, it offers a restrained mid-century presence with a practical purpose.
Design and craftsmanship
The screen is constructed with a hinged brass framework that allows the panels to be angled to suit different fireplace openings and to stand securely once positioned. The black mesh provides effective spark protection and creates a crisp contrast against the brass finish, giving the piece a balanced look that sits comfortably in mid-century, classic, industrial and warm contemporary interiors.
