19th century
Wood, brass. H max 131 cm, Ø ca. 41 cm.

Fireplace screens were especially popular in the 18th century, because the wax-based makeup that women and men wore, had to be protected from heat. So someone standing or sitting in front of an open fire could be relatively sure that their makeup would stay in place because of the height-adjustable screen.
