Fireplace Opening: 58" W x 47" H
These screens are hand forged by skilled artisans from Stone Manufacturing. What's most important for authenticity are the accessories since screens were rarely used in the 15th century. The Andirons and grate were the main functional accessories that prevented logs from rolling into the room and kept the fire at bay. Wrought iron fireplace tools and wood holders were also essential functional components during that period, so we have included all of these in the mockups.
Featured Accessories: WI-AN-BASKET 33" Tall Custom Basket Wrought Iron Andirons, WI-T5 Seville Wrought Iron Fireplace Tools, WI-GRATE Custom Wrought Iron Grate with Curled Bars and Feet, WI-WB1 Wrought Iron Wood Holder.

It has a Rumford fireplace so requires specific airflow, so we need a screen, not glass.
The fireplace opening is 58" wide and 47 " tall. At 8" from the edge, the fireplace is 14" deep (position where structural legs could go)
Overall dimensions should be 62" wide and 48" tall
Not sure if the screen should be flat, bowed, or have 3 panels with short lateral panels (6" to max 8"). Would like to see your design ideas.
The home decor is consistent with the style of the construction. All of the hardware in the house is custom hammered bronze.
We would like to have the screen "made by a skilled blacksmith with layered materials to create a 3 dimensional pattern...despite the fact that there...is a huge difference in price" I am going to send another email with examples from your website of designs that contain some of the elements that we like, as well as an email with representative decor of the house.
Looking forward to your ideas!
If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
