A Long, Wrought Iron French Fireplace Grille with Central Monogram, Circa 1890

About the Item

Fire screens or grilles were first seen in the 18th century, designed to provide a barrier from sparks and rolling logs; they would be positioned in front of the mantel to protect the occupants and furnishings of the sitting room. Our fireplace grille with a central monogram was crafted from wrought iron in France, circa 1890. The center cartouche has a foliate monogram surrounded by an attenuated console. Roundels and small margents connect the ends of the console to the volutes, curves, and leaf cups that comprise the 55 ¼ inch long grille. Supported by four shapely feet on roller wheels, our wrought iron fireplace grille can be easily transported from room to room. The subtly arched top and the flared-out sides further accentuate the meandering curves and movement of the foliate motifs, giving the fireplace grille a beautiful appearance that will enhance any living room or study.
