This is a Pole Fire Screen 54.5" high designed to protect Regency ladies faces when sitting close to a fire. The dark wood appears to be mahogany and the screen itself features an Italian influenced portrait of a bare-foot peasant girl leaning on a stile, carrying a posy. The screen is adjustable and the pole has a threaded end which, for strength, threads right through the base, which stands on three flattened ball feet.. All parts are working.but it would benefit from cleaning. Please study the photographs for more detail.
