There's a fairytale quality to this remarkable fire screen, acquired at auction in East Anglia. It's an Art Deco representation of a Victorian garden scene, framed in oak with a wonderful warm patina and crowned by a beautifully detailed and patinated handle that looks like bronze. The silver and gold foil painting appears to have been applied in a reverse glass process, since glass covers the black background. The figure, as you see, is a willowy maiden in mid-Victorian attire, shown with flowers, birds and birdbath as if beckoning a bird to her hand a la Disney. The glass area measures about 15.5 by 18 inches; the screen overall (not counting handle) is about 23.75 inches tall and 20 inches wide.
