Elizabeth Gazmuri Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 The original of this fire screen is in the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, in the Oak Hill Parlor. It, and many decorative architectural carvings in the room, were done by Samuel McIntire (1757-1811). The now brown center of the piece will have a very delicate needlework. The frame is 14K gold leaf. The feet are ball and claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsalati Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Gorgeous Elizabeth. Will we see this at Guild School, perhaps with the needlework in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debora Beijerbacht Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's very beautiful Elizabeth. Thank you for putting up a picture of the original too. It's so nice to see where yours derived from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniruth Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 What a perfect piece the the Exhibit Room of Guild School next year! I have a beautiful painted fire screen I bought at the IGMA show, would it be appropriate for the roombox I made in Peter Kendall's class, c. 1790?
