Victorian Beveled Glass Fireplace Screen
If you look up beveled glass in Wikipedia it will explain that its usually made by taking a pane of clear glass that’s a quarter of an inch thick and then creating a one inch bevel – that being a cut that is something other than ninety degrees – around the entire circumference. The practice came about as a way to embellish plain, clear glass and create light refracting prisms to highlight the work. An extraordinary example of the technique can be seen with this Victorian Beveled Fireplace Screen.
Using a combination of stained glass – in a color combination of green, burgundy and golden honey and clear beveled glass and clear seedy glass, a fireplace screen has been created that is unlike anything you have ever seen. It’s made in three panels using an astonishing 2,388 hand cut pieces of class, that are encased in a frame of solid brass. For a couple who already own their own home, this Victorian glass fireplace screen would make a dramatic statement as a home décor accent. It’s the sort of gift that you could encourage all your friends to chip in on for a second wedding gift. Well, that’s what I would do. After all what would I do with another counter top grill?
