Rosewood & Mahogany Fire Screen
(c1860)

This beautiful Victorian fire screen had been broken at the join between the slender mahogany pole and stand. This common break is a result of insufficient size and strength in the wood of the stand relative to the significant weight of the screen.

A replacement section was turned and colour-matched from sycamore and a metal rod inserted to improve the strength and longevity of the repair.
