- Physical Description
- Firescreen consists of a rectangular metal frame with glass and metal elements set in rectangular (largely geometric) framing patterns around a central panel of white and purple vertical glass rods. Along the bottom is a border of white, amber, and green glass circular elements in a more naturalistic pattern evoking grapes.
- Subject Matter
- This firescreen was set in the entry hall of the Henry O. Havemeyer house, built in New York City 1890-91 with interior decoration by Louis Comfort Tiffany. As with most of Tiffany's designs for the Havemeyer house, this element combines geometric shapes with more curvilinear elements.
