Title

Fire Screen, c.1810-1820

Description

This walnut fire screen, circa 1820, was probably made locally. The shape of the shaft would place its manufacture date as 1810-1820. The legs are very fine, as is the shaft. The adjustable screen should have the plywood removed. Screen appears to be a replacement.
