Hutton-Clarke Antiques is pleased to offer a wonderful pair of Country House Pole Screens from Marston Hall in Derbyshire. Beautifully carved in wood and gilded with water gilt, they are in Country House condition with minor restorations. The screens retain their original, adjustable needleworks, traditionally used by ladies to prevent makeup from running. Ideal for flanking a country house fireplace. This pair is notable for their oversized proportions, contributing to their distinct Country House aesthetic. Crafted in the Rococo style, they are adorned with various floral motifs, with the cabriole legs featuring open pierced centres with a central basket of flowers. Above, the octagonal poles are topped with lemon squeezer finials. The screens are adjustable and boast wonderfully carved borders, making them an excellent example of their kind.
