French Hand-Forged Wrought Iron and Brass Fire Screen, Early 20th Century

A striking French hand-forged wrought iron fire screen, dating to the early 20th century, featuring a beautifully patinated sheet iron panel framed with hand-riveted iron strapwork. The screen is centered by an elegant stylized fleur-de-lis motif crafted in hammered brass and forged iron, with a twisted iron stem that rises from the base, adding a refined Arts & Crafts or Gothic Revival character. The shaped crest with integrated carrying handle, hand-hammered rivets, and gracefully scrolled feet showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the blacksmith. Designed to shield the hearth from sparks while serving as a decorative focal point, the screen retains its rich dark patina with warm brass accents, making it equally suited to traditional, rustic, or contemporary interiors.
