A Vintage Brass Folding Peacock Fireplace Screen
This vintage brass folding fireplace screen is fan-shaped, with a row of scalloped, arched panels that spread outward from a central base. Each panel is pierced with a sunburst pattern, and the central arched panel is framed by a decorative beaded border. A turned finial rises from the top of the centre panel. The base is modelled as a peacock, with raised wings, a head and pierced scrolled feet, and the panels are hinged so the screen can be folded closed into a narrow, upright shape.
Condition and Collectability
The brass has taken on the warm, aged tone typical of vintage metalwork, and some surface wear consistent with its age is evident. The pierced sunburst panels, peacock-form base and folding hinged design all appear to be original to the piece. Vintage brass fireside pieces of this kind are of interest to collectors of antique hearth furnishings and to buyers looking for a decorative feature for a period or traditional fireplace.
