Rare Philadelphia Queen Anne walnut fire screen with candlestand, ca. 1760, the oblong screen with fixed demilune candle shelf, above a baluster standard supported by cabriole legs terminating in pad feet, 47" h. According to family tradition, the stand was originally owned by Philadelphian abolitionist, Anthony Benezet (1713-1784) and descended in a Quaker family to the present owners. Old repaired break to one batten. Otherwise in very good original condition. Façade is glossier than the rest of the piece but is still an old surface and was probably just wiped down often. Not refinished.
