This elegant, early 20th-century antique fire screen is a blend of utility and decorative art. It features a finely detailed needlepoint tapestry depicting a classic fox hunt scene, with two figures in traditional red jackets on horseback, surrounded by hounds against a vibrant landscape of a tree and blue sky. The tapestry is set within a sturdy, polished oak frame and protected by a clear glass screen. Raised on supported curving feet for stability, this piece is designed to effectively shield from fireplace heat while adding rich colour, texture, and a sense of cosy warmth to any room. It remains in excellent condition, with a sound frame and flawless glass, preserving its original antique charm.
