A quiet, well-loved fire screen from the Louis XV revival, its sage-painted frame curved on four cabriole legs and crowned with a carved rocaille shell. At its center, a woven Aubusson-style panel holds a bouquet of roses and garden flowers rising from a footed urn, bordered in scrolling acanthus and finished with brass nailhead trim and hand-tied corner rosettes. This is the kind of piece that earns its place in a room without asking for attention, set in front of a fireplace, tucked beside a chair, or used simply as a sculptural accent with real history behind it.
Good antique condition, with one small, honestly noted chip to the carved cresting and the soft, even wear of age across the painted frame.
Measures 37 in high, with a 30 in x 30 in panel and a 15 in leg spread. France, 19th century, Louis XV Revival style.
