- Hand screen with curved shape. Painted on silk, decorated with a heraldic motif (coat-of-arms with three hands in gold on a red background) surmounted by a crown and then a helmet with a grid, all surrounded by foliage. Carved and gilded turned wood handle.
- The hand screen is a domestic accessory that was once reserved for the interior of bourgeois and aristocratic homes. Also known as a cheek screen, spark screen or face screen, it protects the face of anyone standing near a fireplace from the heat of the fire. It is thus a sort of portable complement to the fireplace screen. This accessory belongs to the closed world of boudoirs and small apartments, used daily in winter.
- In its current state, it has four small holes.
