Vintage Brass Peacock Fan Folding Fireplace Screen
Dimensions: Approximately 37" wide (fully open) × 27" tall
Style: Victorian / Neoclassical
Construction: Cast and stamped brass
A magnificent brass peacock fan fireplace screen in the grand
Victorian tradition. This substantial piece features the classic
folding fan form with multiple pierced sunburst/starburst panels
that expand into a dramatic peacock-tail silhouette — one of the
most iconic and sought-after fireplace screen designs ever made.
DETAILS:
- Ornate central column with cast floral/rosette medallion,
classical face/mask motif in wreath surround, acanthus leaf
and swag drapery decoration
- Decorative shell and scroll base with ball feet
- Elegant scrollwork top handle with wing/flame motifs
- Fan panels feature pierced sunburst pattern with scalloped
peacock-feather outer edges
- Folding pivot mechanism allows screen to open and close
- Solid, substantial weight — quality casting throughout
CONDITION: Good Antique/Vintage Condition
Natural aged brass patina throughout with honest age-related
tarnishing. Some wear showing at high points on the central
column consistent with age and use. Fan mechanism functions
properly — opens and closes as intended. No broken or missing
panels. Handle intact and secure.
An impressive decorative piece that makes a dramatic statement
in front of any fireplace — equally stunning as a purely
decorative display piece even without an active fireplace.
