Owl Firescreen, detail of the pyrograph signed A. M., (no date) Pyrography on velvet Mounted in an oak firescreen Picture area is approximately 19 inches x 20 inches Overall size of the firescreen is 33 inches x 25 inches Image courtesy of the owner, Martha Innis

The owner of this lovely old piece, Martha Innis knows almost nothing regarding the origins of it. As noted in the captions, the pyrographic work is on velvet and the only color apart from the burning is on the painted crescent moon. It is signed simply A. M. and there is no date. The pyrograph is mounted in a handsome oak firescreen.

Please write to Martha Innis at the link on her name immediately above or to the curator (link below) if you can provide any additional information about this piece and the artist A. M.
