Antique fire screen holder & table top clamp
An Elaborate, Good, Quality, Heavy Antique, Gilt, Brass, Articulated Fire Screen Holder & Table Top Clamp. I believe the brass is probably gilded, as it has a very vibrant brass colour. It may also be from the regency period. I believe these were used to hang Embroidered Silk Fire Face Screens from Table tops, to protect a ladies face from a fire & to maintain their pale complexion. Sadly i do not have the embroidered material fire face screen & only have half of the T - bar, which it is suspended from. The half T - bar is approx " long. Odd places are a little tarnished, which is expected due to the age. Approx 24" from it's longest points & including the clamp. Please study the images & do your own research. Can post at extra cost.
