A fire screen is more than just a functional piece—it’s an opportunity to blend artistry with utility, bringing warmth and character to a space. At The Heirloom Companies, we take pride in designing and crafting fire screens that enhance their surroundings while standing as works of art in their own right. Here are four of our favorite designs, each showcasing a different style and approach to craftsmanship.
Outdoor fireplaces demand durability without sacrificing beauty. This fire screen, designed for a mountain retreat in Cashiers, NC, achieves both. Built to withstand the elements while complementing the home’s rustic elegance, it features a simple yet refined ironwork design that allows the beauty of the home and the surrounding landscape to speak for itself.
Inside, we also crafted three additional fire screens, inspired by the homeowners’ love of Scotland’s cozy, wood-burning fireplaces. These pieces bring that same warmth and charm to their mountain retreat, blending function with timeless character.
When working alongside Amber Lewis Interiors, we knew the fire screen needed to embody her signature blend of timelessness and modernity. The result is a piece that feels both classic and contemporary, seamlessly fitting into a carefully curated space. Featuring clean lines and thoughtful detailing, this fire screen enhances the room’s aesthetic while maintaining its functional purpose.
Bringing the outdoors in was the guiding inspiration behind this fire screen, designed for a serene lakefront home. Its intricate design draws from nature, with hand-forged details that echo branches, waves, or organic forms. A delicate bird is nestled among the branches, adding depth and storytelling to the piece. This fire screen doesn’t just frame the fire—it becomes a reflection of the surrounding landscape, making it a standout feature in the home.
For those who appreciate old-world craftsmanship, this Victorian-inspired fire screen is a true testament to traditional forging techniques. Every curve and detail was meticulously shaped by hand, resulting in an ornate yet timeless design. Inspired by the homeowners’ previous home in New Orleans, this fire screen echoes the intricate ironwork and architectural details found throughout the city. Rich with detail and historical charm, it embodies the artistry and skill of hand-forged ironwork at its finest.
Each of these fire screens showcases a different approach to design, from rugged outdoor durability to refined interior elegance. No matter the style, our goal remains the same: to craft pieces that elevate a space while standing the test of time.
