Decorative & Functional Wrought Iron Fireplace Screens
Fireplace Screens
Hand-forged by master craftsmen, our fireplace screens combine timeless design with artisan detail. From vintage-inspired scrollwork to modern silhouettes, each piece transforms the hearth into both a functional guard and a decorative focal point.
Fireplace screens are more than functional barriers—they are hand-forged works of art, crafted to bring vintage-inspired character, warmth, and timeless beauty to the hearth.
Why Fireplace Screens Matter
A fireplace is often the heart of a home, and a well-chosen screen completes the scene. Beyond protection, fireplace screens anchor the hearth as a design focal point, shaping the atmosphere of a room whether the fire is lit or not. From hand-forged iron fireplace screens with intricate scrollwork to simple panels with clean lines, each piece offers a balance of form and function that transforms a living space.
Design & Atmosphere
Every screen tells a story. Wrought iron scrollwork evokes centuries of European craft, while minimalist silhouettes lend a modern edge. Vintage-inspired fireplace screens with arched tops and ornamental flourishes bring old-world romance, while transitional designs with subtle curves feel equally at home in both classic and contemporary settings. Each material, finish, and detail contributes to the mood, from rustic charm to understated elegance.
Function & Placement
Fireplace screens serve many purposes: they protect from sparks, frame the firebox, and stand as decorative features even when the flames are out. In rooms where the fireplace is used for ambience rather than wood burning, single-panel or open designs are ideal for styling without obstructing the view. For gas fireplaces, decorative screens with no mesh allow full visibility of the flames, functioning as a statement piece rather than a shield.
Outdoor fireplace screens are also an option for covered patios or garden hearths. With seasonal care—such as applying a rust-resistant spray like Rustoleum—they can withstand exterior conditions while adding a sophisticated layer of design to outdoor living spaces.
Craftsmanship & Materials
Most of our fireplace screens are hand-forged by master craftsmen, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. This artisanal approach highlights the character of wrought iron, tole accents, and metal finishes that age gracefully over time. The result is furniture-quality construction that balances durability with artistry, designed to be passed down for years of use and enjoyment.
Style Spotlights

Classic scrollwork and arched frames echo timeless European influence, bringing refinement to formal living rooms and historic homes.
Vintage-Inspired
Hand-forged fireplace screens with decorative motifs, antique finishes, and curved silhouettes channel old-world craftsmanship while complementing modern spaces with character-rich details.

Everyday Styling Inspiration
Fireplace screens aren’t just seasonal—they create visual weight year-round. Pair a vintage-inspired iron fireplace screen with stacked wood in a woven basket, or flank the hearth with lanterns for layered glow. In warmer months, style the firebox with candles or greenery while letting the screen frame the scene. For a cohesive look, echo the finish of your screen with surrounding hardware, lighting, or accent tables.

Fireplace Screen Buying Guide: Questions & Answers
Our screens are primarily hand-forged from wrought iron and tole, chosen for strength, durability, and artisan character. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these materials allow for intricate detailing and timeless quality that grows richer with age.
Tole refers to thin sheets of metal, often iron or tin, shaped and worked by hand. In fireplace screens, tole allows master craftsmen to create delicate scrollwork, floral accents, and layered motifs that add depth and artistry to the design.

Decorative screens with mesh are safe for use with wood-burning fireplaces, as they are specifically designed to block sparks. Solid decorative-only panels (without mesh) should not be used with active wood fires — they are intended for gas fireplaces or styling purposes.
