About the Item

This elegant nursery sparks guard is designed to provide discreet protection around a fireplace while maintaining a refined decorative presence. Constructed of finely spaced black wire mesh within a softly patinated brass frame, the guard features a gently undulating top rail with subtle swag detailing that adds visual interest without excess ornament. An unusual secondary brass rail runs parallel beneath the main rail, a rare design feature likely intended for hanging lightweight accessories or additional protective elements. Its extended, folding form allows the guard to span a wide hearth and adapt to various fireplace openings, making it especially suitable for use in nurseries and family living spaces where safety is paramount.
