Many of the best antique fireplace screens available today can be found
in Europe -- primarily France and England. The striking examples featured here date from the mid 19th century to the early 20th century.   Pic- tured  above  is  an attractive mid 19th century English brass firescreen from Thornhill Galleries in London. It incorporates a series of scrolls, leaves and flowers in its design.

Pictured at left is a stunning Re- naissance Revival fire screen from France. Dating from 1875-1880, it features a large and imposing, lav- ishly carved oak frame surrounding a beautiful tapestry panel.

The stylish Louis XV style fireplace screen that follows is also French and dates to the mid 19th century. Made of brass, it features female masks, scrolls, foliage and latticework.

As with the antique fireplace screen pictured above,  the French designs at right and below are from Thorn- hill Galleries in London, England. The ornate  19th  century  brass  fire screen at right features a flaming urn and birds in the center, framed by delicate rope moulding and bead- ing.    Flowers,  leaves  and  vines entwine the overall composition.

A pair of cherubs provides the focal point in the late 19th century brass fire screen that follows. Elaborate scroll work and leaves decorate the frame.

Pictured  below is a late 19th century English Arts and Crafts fire screen from Westland London, based in London, England. Crafted from wrought iron,  it features an arched top frame with brass finials to accent the painted black finish. Centered inside the frame is a highly stylized wheat sheaf inspired beaded fan motif with a gilded center clasp.  Surrounding the elaborate fan motif are stylized olive branches.

The two antique fireplace screens that follow, also from  Westland London,  are  in  the  Art Nouveau  style. The late 19th century English bronzed iron fire screen  at  right features a stylized grapevine design in repousse metal, framed by bolted strapwork with arched tripod sup- ports.

The beautiful Art Nouveau design that follows is French, circa 1900.    It features a delicately hand carved walnut mantelpiece with imitation Mother of Pearl inlays.    The original fire screen, which echos the detailing of the carved wood surround, is actually an attached two door grill of decorative wrought iron.

Another early 20th century wrought iron firescreen is pictured at right. A fine example from Westland London, it features a classical urn with roses, surrounded by scrollwork.

And  finally,  the early 20th century fireplace screen that follows is from Thornhill Galleries.  It features cast brass scroll and leafwork, helmets, and an heraldic mask in an elaborate frame.
