A Folding Brass Peacock Firescreen

This folding brass peacock firescreen is a decorative fireside piece in the traditional style. Its fan of pierced panels opens outward from a central pivot to form a rounded, peacock-tail silhouette, and the frame is topped with a slender finial. The sculpted base features a peacock head and scrolled supports, with the bird’s form rising through the centre of the fan. The pierced panels display a radiating sunburst pattern with a central boss on each section, giving the piece an intricate, openwork appearance. Brass fire screens of this kind were popular in traditional and period-style homes, where they were valued for both their appearance and their practical role in guarding the hearth.

Condition and Collector Appeal

The photograph shows the firescreen fanned open, with its panels in place and the peacock base intact. The brass has an attractive golden patina with some expected handling marks and light wear consistent with age. We have not tested the fold mechanism, and the piece is offered as seen. Buyers should examine the photographs carefully and ask any questions before bidding. For collectors of vintage fireplace accessories and decorative brass, this piece offers a striking focal point, with its bold peacock motif and detailed pierced design. It would suit a traditional interior, a period property, or a collection of Victorian-revival or mid-century brassware.
