Historical information

This particular object was designed for a dual purpose. The screen, adjustable in height, could be placed in front of a candle to dim its light and heat, but at the same time it could be removed from the stand and used as a flag fan. 

Both the decoration of the circular silk panel, embroidered with a garland of flowers and leaves, and the amphora base supported by a tripod, embellished with bronze inserts of neoclassical derivation, are extremely refined.
