While antiquity's fire screens often feature a hand-carved or hand-painted, rectangular panel mounted on a tall stand, our modern fireplace screens more closely resemble room dividers.
Usually consisting of three hinged panel, fireplace screens' largest, and usually most decorative, panel is in the middle, with two equally sized panels on either side. The screen is to be placed in front of your fireplace when not in use to hide ashes and burnt logs; the two side panels can be adjusted to maintain a clean view of the hearth from all angles. Use your fireplace screen when a fire is burning to dim direct light and heat.
Fireplace screens are available in a range of styles and colors, including traditional, antiqued varieties; clean, classic looks; and thematically patterned screens.
