This antique screen was used to hide the ashes and soot associated
with a fireplace during the times when the fireplace was NOT lit.
The table/screen surface was usually wood covered with a silk
patterned material and glass. When the fireplace was used to
produce heat, this screen could be made into a small table to play
games or have tea in front of the warm fire. A revolving butterfly
support is rotated below to support the table/screen surface on the
screen legs. The legs and supports are pattern cut with the router.
