Stained Glass Fireplace Screens -- Beautiful And Practical
If you own a fireplace -- whether you use it regularly or not -- then you need a fireplace screen. The basic purpose of a fireplace screen is to block off the firebox area when you are not using your fireplace. If you use your fireplace on a regular basis, you can use a fireplace screen to cover up once your fire has been extinguished -- and this can be a real timesaver, as you can simply cover up the area, rather than taking the time to clean it out, when you are pressed for time. You can also use a fireplace screen for decoration even if you do not have a functioning fireplace.
As you might imagine, stained-glass fireplace screens are available in a number of different designs and sizes -- get one that will fit your fireplace firebox opening, and choose one with a pleasing appearance.
One company that sells a number of different beautiful stained-glass fireplace screens is River Of Goods. Let me describe a few of them for you. Right now I am looking at a fireplace screen with a beautiful peacock feather design. Made of 628 separate glass pieces, and 54 cabashons, it extends more than 50 inches across, and 30 inches high. This stained-glass fireplace screen is handmade in China -- so like all the River Of Goods merchandise, each one is unique. The item that I saw was priced at just under $189.
If you are willing to pay just a little bit more (just under $200), you can own another stained-glass fireplace screen from River Of Goods -- a Tiffany style screen. This item features the classic vine and flower motif that we so closely associate with Tiffany. It is constructed in a sturdy metal frame, with a wipe-clean finish. Again, this stained-glass fireplace screen is completely handmade and each one is slightly different than the others -- so when you buy one you'll end up with a unique heirloom for your home. Size on this item is 41 inches by 4 x 28 inches. Another great looking stained-glass fireplace screen is a screen with a dragonfly design. This is a traditional, 3-panel fireplace screen that features dragonflies dancing near reeds and a water source -- just like you would see outside. One of the nice things about stained-glass fireplace screens is that if you place it far enough away from your fire, you can actually view the flames as they shine through the stained glass -- and when these flames are viewed through this stained-glass fireplace screen you could almost imagine that you are down at your nearby lake! The dimensions of this stained-glass fireplace screen are 33 inches in height by 48.25 inches long.
