This print showcases a remarkable Fire Screen, crafted in England around the year 1900. Created by the talented William Arthur Smith Benson and his company W. A. S. Benson & Co. , this piece is an exquisite example of the Arts and Crafts movement that swept through Europe during the late 19th century. The screen, made from copper and brass, exudes elegance with its intricate floral design adorning its surface. The skilled craftsmanship is evident in every detail, as each petal and leaf has been meticulously formed to create a harmonious composition. Its vibrant colors add warmth to any space it graces.
