Antique Walnut Louis XVI Firescreen with Needlepoint
About the Item
Antique Walnut Louis XVI Firescreen with needlepoint tapestry features a carved walnut framework with elaborate neoclassical motifs such as the torch and quiver of arrows, a wreath of flowers, egg & dart and even ostrich plume finials! The framework is a work of art unto itself, but the tapestry clearly shows the talents of skilled artists, with needlepoint and petite point forming an image of a young maiden returning from market and encountering an acquaintance along the way, all set with the backdrop of an opulent chateau in the background. Such screens helped keep ladies' makeup protected from the radiant heat of the fire during winter months, and provided a decorative screen to enhance the visual appeal of the fireplace during summer months. The Romantic Age composition will surely bring a smile to you every time you sit next to the fire!

- Period French Louis XVI Giltwood Firescreen, circa 1780Located in Dallas, TXThis Louis XVI period giltwood firescreen is a rather unique find. Typically firescreens from this period (the late 1700’s) were produced with a tapestry or needlepoint body; this particular piece has a solid colored (gold) silk upholstery screen which meshes well with the giltwood frame. Firescreens were used during warmer months to cover the opening of the fireplace. The detachable crest (which can be removed to replace or reupholster the screen) has bell shaped finials on the shoulders that are connected by a raised carving. These elements are surrounded by slightly spiral gadrooning. Beneath the crest is a repeating laurel leaf motif that runs all the way around the border. The ornamentation is double sided.
