firescreen in oak aligned to the Aesthetic Movement (1880–1889), c.1885, in the Anglo-Japanese mode. The upper rail carries a torii gate motif, with an embroidered panel depicting a tranquil river scene with architecture and boats. An upright frame offers a tidy footprint suitable for hearthside placement. A visible construction cue is the framed textile panel held within the timber surround, presenting a balanced and compact stance without visual excess. Within the broader Anglo-Japanese vocabulary of the Aesthetic Movement, the torii crest and pictorial textile echo Japonisme taste while remaining restrained.
