Vintage Brass Peacock Fan Fireplace Screen Folding Ornate

A vintage brass folding fireplace screen in a classic “peacock fan” form, featuring multiple articulated panels with intricate pierced sunburst and feather-like motifs. The expanding design opens into a dramatic semicircle, anchored by a finely cast central figure resembling a griffin or sphinx, a hallmark of Victorian Aesthetic Movement styling, circa 1880–1910. The detailed openwork and warm brass tone create a striking balance of function and decorative appeal.

Designed to expand and contract smoothly, this piece serves as both a practical hearth screen and an eye-catching decorative accent. Its sculptural presence and figural base make it especially appealing for traditional interiors or collectors of antique fireplace accessories.
