Single Panel Fire Screen in Tinted Green Glass with Brass Frame

This single-panel fire screen represents the refined minimalism that the best French designers brought to home furnishings in the 1970s. The fire screen consists of a large single panel of deep green tinted glass — its colour a rich, absorbing teal that changes in depth according to the ambient light — framed in a polished brass frame with a beaded profile. This framing detail, although modest in scale, is executed with great refinement: the beaded brass captures light along its rounded edges, creating a warm line of gold that traces the perimeter of the glass with a quietly luxurious effect. The glass itself, measuring 65 cm wide by 48.5 cm high, is a generous single panel that would effectively protect a medium to large fireplace opening. The depth of the green hue offers real protection against the glare of the flame while allowing warm, filtered light to enter the room — one of the main advantages of tinted glass over opaque alternatives. The colour is sophisticated and distinctly of its decade: the deep teal of the 1970s interior palette, applied here to a practical object with an effect that transcends the merely functional. The brass frame rests on small feet integrated into the lower corners, ensuring stability while minimising the visual footprint of the support. Rather than using a separate base, the feet are seamlessly integrated into the frame, preserving the clean, continuous line of the brass border and reflecting the design intelligence of the piece as a whole. With only 14.5 cm in depth, the fire screen has a notably shallow profile, ideal for placement near the fireplace mantel without occupying a significant footprint in the room. Its combination of deep green glass and polished brass — two materials of great decorative resonance — creates a striking visual impact.
