Early 20th Century Hand-Painted Storybook Fireplace Screen with Girl & Geese

Early 20th Century Hand-Painted Storybook Fireplace Screen with Girl & Geese

There are antiques that decorate a room, and then there are antiques that tell a story.

This enchanting early 20th-century hand-painted three-panel fireplace screen feels as though it wandered straight from the pages of a forgotten fairy tale. At the center, a young girl strolls through a dreamy pastoral landscape accompanied by a pair of graceful geese, all framed by wonderfully whimsical trees rendered in soft, painterly shades of green.

The artwork possesses a gentle, storybook quality, while the aged wood frame showcases the beautiful wear and character that only a century of life can create. Every brushstroke and every bit of patina adds to its undeniable charm.

Originally designed as a fireplace screen, this piece is equally captivating displayed as wall art, layered atop a mantel, or incorporated into a cottage-inspired, English country, or grandmillennial interior. It is the kind of heirloom-worthy decorative piece that instantly adds warmth, personality, and a sense of history to a space.

The trees. The geese. The faded colors. The beautifully aged wood.

A celebration of nature, imagination, and the enduring magic of old-world craftsmanship.

Estate-Sourced. Storied. Heirloom-Worthy.

We love bringing you pieces like this—things that aren’t just beautiful, but truly heirloom worthy.  Because a collected home is built one exceptional piece at a time.
