We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to present, for your consideration, this rare and extremely ornate Victorian Rosewood Fire Screen with Period Floral Tapestry (Circa:  1870).  This elegant Victorian Fire Screen is wearing its original finish and holding what we believe to be its original floral tapestry which is done in tones of rose, mauve, peach, beige, blue, green and black.  This rare beauty weighs 20 pounds and measures 34 ¼” in height from the floor to the center of the top scalloped fleur-de-lis crest, 17 ¼” in depth and 30” in width.  The carvings and details on this Victorian Rosewood Fire Screen with Period Floral Tapestry are phenomenal!

 

Pierced, carved scroll work is found on the top and bottom of this fabulous Fire Screen and a beautiful dimensional carved scalloped fleur-de-lis crest graces the center of the top.  The shoulders of the top are adorned with fancy bulbous finials and the frame is done in a rope twist carved configuration. Additional details include small rosette roundels, a glass front covering the tapestry, and a beige fabric covered backside with matching gimp.  This rare and extremely ornate Victorian Rosewood Fire Screen with Period Floral Tapestry is exquisite in every sense of the word and would make an elegant statement in any home!

 

Novice antique collectors should be aware that any antique over 100 years old will have some type(s) of slight or minor imperfections or marks of character.  It is exactly these time-acquired features that intrigue collectors to ponder about how the piece must have been used and by whom.  Such marks of use and character only add to the authenticity, charm, and desirability of the piece.
