Customer Comments: Opening 52" x 28" Desired Finish brass Home circa 2013 Navy oriental rug will be added to the room
Our Comments: Here are some choices inspired by your decor that I recommend. Free standing screens are normally accompained by andirons, so I am showing them with and without. The andirons I am showing were recently acquired from a buyout that I made and I am selling them at half price.
*Closeout Specials: These items were purchased from Stone Manufacturing just before they went out of business and are being sold at or below half price while supplies last. See More: Fireplace Accessory Closeout Specials!
Fireplace Opening: 52" W x 28" H
These screens and doors are hand crafted by skilled artisans from Solid Brass and are very high end and refined. They are available in a highly polished or slightly dull hand polished finish. The hand polished finish is a bit less formal and more elegant, very much like your tables.

Option #6: Stone Manufacturing TFD-34M 3-Fold Solid Brass Fireplace Screen with Doors and #34 7/8" Mini Rope Casting Trim in Brightly Polished Brass. Shown with Closeout Special* AR-AN15 Antique Reproduction Bonaparte Andirons Inside the Fireplace. This screen requires brackets mounted to the hearth for stability (See Brackets below).
Brackets: These brackets must be attached to the hearth to provide stability for 3-fold screens with doors. Otherwise, they can easily tip over when the doors are open. The design of the brackets allows the screen to be removed easily when needed.
If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.
We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
