This fire screen by Pierre-Antoine Bellangé forms part of the 53 piece suite purchased by President James Monroe in 1817. This photograph of the fire screen shows the piece during conservation treatment, with its upholstery and gilding removed. The White House Historical Association funded all aspects of this restoration.

This gilded wood fire screen by Edward A. Richter of Vienna, Austria, was exhibited at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876 before being donated to President Ulysses S. Grant and placed in the Red Room.
