"Firescreens: A Historical Journey through Functional Art" Step back in time and explore the fascinating world of firescreens, where beauty meets functionality. From the opulent RMS Mauretania to exquisite embroidered pieces, these screens have adorned drawing rooms and provided protection from roaring flames throughout history. One notable example is a panel converted into a fire screen from the legendary RMS Mauretania. This majestic ship's artifact now serves as a stunning reminder of its grandeur while safeguarding homes with style. In elegant drawing rooms, firescreens mounted on tripods or circular bases became coveted decorative elements. An embroidered fire screen created in 1937 by Ernest A Towers Jr showcases intricate craftsmanship that adds sophistication to any space. Similarly, his Petit Point Fire Screen transports us to an era of delicate artistry. Traveling further back in time, we encounter an English fire screen crafted around 1900 by William Arthur Smith Benson. Its timeless design seamlessly blends form and function, reflecting the Victorian era's attention to detail. Dublin presents us with another gem - a pole-screen dating back to 1851 by Arthur James Jones and Son. This ingenious creation allowed users to adjust the height of their screens effortlessly while enjoying warmth without compromising elegance. Fire fans also played their part in this captivating narrative. An unknown creator gifted England with two remarkable examples - one from the late 19th century and another dating all the way back to 1701/25. These ornate fans not only protected faces but also added flair during chilly evenings by casting mesmerizing shadows across hearths. Thomas Eakins' knitting-inspired fire screen modeled in 1882-83 offers a unique twist on this functional artwork genre. Combining creativity with practicality, it captures attention while keeping sparks at bay. Fast forward to more recent times; Vincent P Rosel leaves his mark with two exceptional creations from 1938 – each showcasing distinct styles that blend seamlessly with contemporary interiors.
