Fire-guard

This is another of the useful pieces of furniture which it would never occur to me to buy - but it is kept in front of the fireplace in the bedroom and would only be moved if we had a coal fire again. However, like most houses, we have central heating and radiators and all the fireplaces are just ornamental!! It was embroidered by my aunt, and I guess she also did the carpentry - she was very handy …. But I never asked her!
