-The hand screen is a domestic accessory that was once reserved for the interior of bourgeois and aristocratic homes. Also known as a cheek screen, spark screen or face screen, it protects the face of anyone standing near a fireplace from the heat of the fire. It is thus a sort of portable complement to the fireplace screen. This accessory belongs to the closed world of boudoirs and small apartments, used daily in winter.
