Fire screen 1685 - 1715

This 17th-century firescreen, crafted by the Beauvais workshop, is a beautiful example of French Rococo design. The frame is made of intricately carved wood, with scrolling curves and delicate floral motifs. The screen itself is made of woven tapestry depicting a bouquet of flowers and two parrots, all rendered in vibrant colors. This ornate piece would have been a centerpiece in any grand home, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. The intricate designs and vivid colors of the tapestry are hallmarks of the Beauvais workshop, which was known for its high-quality and luxurious textiles.
