Repoussé Fire Screen in Patinated Brass with Galleon Early 20th Century

A wonderful early 20th century repoussé fire screen in patinated brass depicting a majestic galleon. Belgian or French, 1900-1930.

Remarkable and very interesting, this fire screen shows a highly detailed scene with a large antique galleon on the sea. The amount of details is just fantastic. Just look at the curly waves, the sails and the low-relief clouds in the background. All set in a highly decorative framework. The piece features a distinct neoclassical and art nouveau appearance - the latter most noticeable in the two delicate feet.

A high quality piece. Placed in the right context and environment, this will be a true statement piece.

Comes in a good and original condition with a beautiful patina.
