🌟ANTIQUE THURSDAY - ANTIQUE BRASS FIRESCREEN 🌟
Happy Thursday, Steem Fam! For this week's Antique Thursday, I would like to share with you this amazing pierced and cast brass firescreen.
It's just one of those things I picked up at an auction, ya know?! I have a penchant for anything shiny, and I know from past experience that beautiful fire screens sell exceptionally well, so, how could I not, ya know?
The faces and suns make me think it is very old - Louis the 14th - but that would be very old and precious and I would surely know that - the auctioneer would surely say so. Nothing was said, so I assume it's a new reproduction piece, but still old, as this kind of thing is not common nowadays. I'd easily place in the early Victorian times, as the French loved a bit of glam back then.
One day when I'm big, I want a huge fireplace in my home, with dark walls and over the top paintings... like this:
Or, more like the room Mrs Malfoy meets Snape in, in the Half Blood Prince, when Snape makes an Unbreakable Vow. Harry Pothead fans will know what I'm talking about. 🤪
What do you think of such over the top, ornate pieces? Do you LOVE them? Or do you think they are a big NO?!
I want a huge fireplace in my home too, but with soft pastel colors on the walls.
Have a great day for you.
oooh, pink maybe? I'd love a grey room with lots of white marble! FANCY!

I love them and they bring back memories of a couple of the old houses some uncles and aunties had I always loved there fire place and fancy fire place guards, not as fancy as this one but still quite ornate, if i ever had a house with a fireplace i would want one ;)
My dream house wish list consists of
LOL
I could go for most of those, but I could skip the bling Bathtub, but the wife may like that, and I would add a small photo Studio
I just love them. They are so unique. No two are exactly the same.
This one is a great repop if it is. It's so undamaged that it probably is a reproduction. But...
Thanks for sharing a bit of beauty from your life.
It has to be! BUUUT you never know, and there's no way to know either. That's the beauty of antiques x
How do you have it priced? If it's repop priced I believe I'd take a chance on it. I mean if I had a fireplace :)
I think this fire screen is gorgeous. I particularly like the faces & suns. I'm not typically into over the top ornate pieces...but this one I am totally feeling😍
