This circa 1930s (approx.) solid brass folding fireplace screen is a striking example of early 20th-century hearth design, created at a time when fireplace accessories were meant to be both practical and beautiful.
The screen features a graceful fan-shaped form with pierced brass panels, allowing firelight and warmth to pass through while casting a soft, golden glow. At the center is a classical figural motif inspired by Greco-Roman sculpture, rendered in flowing lines and framed by decorative detailing that reflects the neoclassical revival style popular in the 1930s.
The articulated panels open and close smoothly, making the screen easy to adjust for use or display. When closed, it stands neatly and decoratively; when open, it provides generous coverage for the hearth. Crafted entirely of solid brass, the piece has a satisfying weight and presence, with a warm patina that speaks to its age and quality rather than shine or trend.
This screen works beautifully in a wide range of interiors — traditional homes, eclectic spaces, historic properties, or modern rooms that benefit from one strong, sculptural focal point. Whether used in front of a working fireplace or styled decoratively in an unused hearth, it adds character, warmth, and a sense of history.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear and a naturally developed patina consistent with its circa 1930s origin.
