Item Details
Description
Aesthetic Period Gilt-Bronze and Needlework Firescreen, fourth quarter 19th century, possibly French, the adjustable pole set with a bamboo-pattern gilt-bronze frame, and supported by molded dolphin supports, the handsomely worked stuffed and raised needlework panel depicting a dragon-form slip with cranes overhead, h. 46-3/4", w. 29-3/4", d. 14".
Condition
The entire frame and base is made of metal. We believe it to be bronze, with some areas highlighted with a copper wash. The frame is bent in some areas and modern fasteners have replaced the original ones on the back. It is lacking some screws which hold the frame rod to the base. There are some holes in the metal frame at the corners and crest which may have had small flowerheads. The fabric is tattered and worn, with loose threads.
