Antique Art Nouveau Solid Brass Peacock Fan Fireplace Screen Winged Griffin 1920
This is a striking antique brass fireplace screen dating to around the turn of the 20th century, beautifully executed in the Art Nouveau style. The design features a dramatic fan-shaped pierced brass screen crowned with a finial and anchored by an ornate winged mythological figure—often interpreted as a griffin or sphinx—standing on elaborate scrolling feet. Richly detailed repoussé and pierced work throughout gives this piece exceptional visual depth and presence. A highly decorative and functional hearth accessory, ideal for collectors of Art Nouveau metalwork or period fireplace décor.
