Design & Atmosphere

Designed by Carleton Varney, this fireplace screen embodies the elegance and decorative confidence associated with classic European interiors. Its expansive scale and sculptural scrollwork lend the hearth a formal presence that feels intentional, layered, and richly composed.

The gold finish reflects firelight with warmth and depth, enhancing the surrounding space with a soft glow that complements stone, marble, brick, and wood surrounds alike. The design balances grandeur with approachability, making it equally suited to traditional living rooms and refined transitional spaces.

As flames flicker behind the mesh backing, light and shadow move through the scrolling ironwork, creating an atmospheric interplay that brings the fireplace to life. The artichoke finials punctuate the design with architectural detail, reinforcing the piece’s classical lineage.

The three-panel construction allows the screen to span large fireplaces with ease, offering presence without rigidity. Its proportions feel furniture-like and curated, giving the hearth a finished look even when the fire is not in use.

Handcrafted with care and finished through a detailed artisan process, this screen is designed to endure—both structurally and stylistically. It is a statement of timeless design, artistic heritage, and functional beauty.
