'STRESSED OAK’ FIRE SCREEN / STAND.
A VERY ATTRACTIVE AND EXTREMELY RARE, MID - LATE 20th CENTURY, CARVED OAK, FIRE SCREEN / STAND, OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND CONDITION. THIS FABULOUS OAK FIRE SCREEN WAS MADE BY THE 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC WOODCRAFT LTD' FURNITURE COMPANY, OF BRAILSFORD, DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY 'HAND-MADE', 'MONASTIC', 'GRIFFITHS', OAK FURNITURE WAS UNTIL RECENTLY STILL BEING MADE BY SON 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS'. HIS WORKSHOP / SHOWROOM WAS BASED AT THE OLD CHEESE FACTORY GRANGEMILL, DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. NIGEL RETIRED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO THIS FURNITURE CAN NO LONGER BE PURCHASED FROM NEW. EACH ITEM OF FURNITURE WAS INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED, WITH 'HAND-CUT' DOVETAILS AND WAS PLANED, SANDED, CARVED, STAINED AND POLISHED ALL BY HAND. THE FIRE SCREEN IS CONSTRUCTED USING TRADITIONAL METHODS AND ONLY THE VERY BEST QUALITY SOLID OAK TIMBER AND VENEERS ARE USED THROUGH-OUT, INCLUDING THE SIDES, BACK AND BASE OF EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE. IT HAS ATTRACTIVE OAK WOOD GRAINING THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD SIT NICELY WITH OTHER MATCHING ITEMS OF 'GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC', 'HAND-CRAFTED' SOLID OAK FURNITURE. THE SCREEN IS A RICH MEDIUM OAK IN COLOUR AND HAS AN EXCELLENT ALL ROUND FINISH. IT ALSO TAKES ON A DELIBERATE 'STRESSED', AGED APPEARANCE AND HAS RUSTIC 'STRESS' MARKS THROUGH-OUT. THE FIRE SCREEN HAS A SWEPT TOP RAIL, WITH A CENTRAL 'CUT-OUT' HANDLE AND A DECORATIVE 'CHOP-CARVED' BOTTOM EDGE. IT HAS 'STRIAGHT-CUT' SOLD OAK SIDE SUPPORTS AND A MATCHING 'CHOP-CARVED' BOTTOM SECTION, WHICH ALSO HAS A CHAMFERED TOP EDGE. THE SOLID OAK FRAME ALSO HAS VISIBLE 'PEGGED' CORNERS, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH AND IT IS RAISED UPON STYLISH, SOLID OAK, 'OUT-STRETCHED' MOULDED 'PAD FEET', FOR GREATER SUPPORT. THE FIRE SCREEN ALSO RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL FLORAL EMBROIDERED TAPESTRY. IT IS SET BEHIND A GLASS PANEL AND AGAIN IS IN EXCELLENT CLEAN CONDITION THROUGH-OUT. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, 'RUPERT GRIFFITHS', 'HAND-CRAFTED' SOLID OAK, FIRE SCREEN HAS BEEN CLEANED AND RE-POLISHED. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO ANY HOME!

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
