  4. I too had one of those fire screen Peg and my DS decided he needed some extra money one time and took it to the scrap metal place and got cash for it. Was not impressed and still am not impressed about it. They are wonderful things and your one is lovely. That is a treasure. :) hugs Vicki

  9. Wow, I've never seen one like that before! My Gran has a similar one, but it's got 3 sides to it. the front and the two ends to curl aroudn the fire. Yours is beautiful though! Does it get hot sitting in front of the fire?
