Guide To Antique Fireplace Screen

Fireplace screens add charm and elegance to any fireplace. The room appears cozy and comfortable with a fire lit in the fireplace and the glow reflecting from behind the fireplace screens. Fireplace screens have long been in use and were earlier made from metals and even glass.

Why fireplace screens are needed?

Although a fireplace is constructed in such a way that a fire is contained within it, sometimes flames and fire embers may fly across the room. This can injure someone sitting close to the hearth or seated very near to the fireplace. A fireplace screen prevents such disasters and at the same time keeps the soot or ash from spilling out of the fireplace and into the room. This is especially important if the room is not large enough or has a window or door that may bring in a sudden gust of wind.

Antique metal fireplace screens

Fireplace screens with metal mesh and art forms created in metal work make the fireplace screen come alive. Different animals such as deer or birds are depicted in the metal work. You can light a crackling fire and then sit back and enjoy the different forms in the flickering flames. Adding a grace and charm to your room like nothing else can, these antique fireplace screens are a must for any fireplace. Antique fireplace screens inspired by Victorian fireplace screens have beautiful depictions of village scenery on the metal meshes.

Some beautiful features

Most antique fireplace screens have handsome scrollwork and mesh panels. This is available in brass screen panels. Fireplace screens have also been made of other metals such as copper, wrought iron and iron. At times, handcrafted and polished, these fireplace screens depict rural life and the amazing creative knowledge of our elders. Some antique fireplace screens are also known to be foldable and have two, three or four folds depending upon the width of the fireplace and that of the fireplace screen used.

Antique fireplace screens in modern times

It may be difficult to find exact reproductions or replica of antique fireplace screens. But many stores and suppliers can find you sturdy metal fireplace screens with an antique metal polish. This is the best way of combining the traditional with the modern to suit the changing times.
