A stunning original Arts & Crafts period hammered copper fire screen, featuring a rich patinated surface and exquisite decorative flourishes.

The screen boasts a deeply textured hammered copper front framed in iron, with an embossed central cartouche depicting a classical figure in oval form—evocative of heraldic or allegorical themes often found in late 19th to early 20th-century design.

Crowned with a scrolling wrought iron crest and fleur-de-lis finial, the piece stands elegantly on splayed cast iron legs, each terminating in a stylised foot.

A beautiful marriage of utility and form, this piece is a true testament to the craftsmanship and aesthetics of the Arts & Crafts movement, where handmade quality and honest materials were paramount.

Subtle signs of age—including surface dents and oxidation—only enhance the authenticity and historical charm of this highly decorative fire screen.
