French 19th Century Bamboo & Decoupage Fireplace Screen
$1,200.00
SKU: 1005-24
Dimension: 49.63"H x 31.38"W x 14"D
Dimensions: 49 ⅝” H x 31 ⅜” W x 14” D
A French fireplace screen, made circa 1890 of bamboo, recently updated in England with ebonized (painted) finish then decoupaged for an horticultural theme. Scientific illustrations of hyacinth, butterflies, and dragonflies appear gilded against the dark background which is the perfect complement to the exotic bamboo. Traditionally, in warmer months when the fireplace is not in use, a “fire screen” would add visual interest and obscure the empty fireplace from sight. We think this screen could be equally interesting as a clothing valet in the bedroom or other room dividing furniture as the illustrations are different on each side. Original manufacturer’s tag from Perret & Vibert of Paris, “House of Bamboo”, affixed to the frame. Be sure to view all the images for a closer look at this wonderful antique.
