This is a very unusual rolling fire screen with a tiny desk compartment for a wealthy lady to sit by the fire and do her correspondence! I've never seen one like it: very high quality, solid mahogany, brass casters, brass mounts, old French silk lining to the fire screen (which can be raised and lowered)...the interior has a tooled-leather writing surface in excellent condition. It even has brass swing-arm candleholders at each side for illumination. I bought it at a Beverly Hills estate sale in the 90's. This is a chance to own a really unusual piece.
