Gilt bronze fire screen in the Louis XV style – Napoleon III period, circa 1880
An elegant antique gilt bronze fire screen, crafted in the Louis XV style, dating from the late 19th century, around 1880.
A very fine example with particularly rich ornamentation, featuring a flowing frame composed of scrolls, rocaille motifs, foliage, and openwork designs, characteristic of the rocaille decorative repertoire.
The central section is adorned with a charming gilt bronze decoration depicting two winged putti flanking a blazing brazier, a motif particularly suited to the object's function.
The whole rests on two elegant, broadly scrolled, foliate feet. The gilt bronze structure frames a fine metal protective screen, thus retaining its original function while also serving as a beautiful decorative element in front of a fireplace.
The quality of the chasing, the abundance of decoration, and the beautiful proportions make this a highly decorative fire screen, perfectly suited to a classic interior, a period home, or 18th-century style decor.
