Petit Point Fire Screen c. 1937

Ernest A. Towers Jr.'s "Petit Point Fire Screen" (c. 1937) is a detailed depiction of a decorative firescreen. The embroidered panel, featuring a bouquet of pink roses, is framed within a carved wooden stand. The intricate details of the woodcarving and the vibrant floral embroidery contribute to the overall elegance of the piece. Petit Point, a type of needlepoint embroidery, is known for its tiny stitches and detailed designs. This particular example would have been a coveted decorative object in a 1930s home, adding a touch of refinement to any interior.
