Description
A bold and evocative Western fireplace screen by noted Wyoming craftsman John B. Mortensen, celebrated for his sculptural ironwork rooted in cowboy and ranch life. This striking screen features a finely worked mesh backdrop framed in blackened iron, centered with a dynamic cast relief tableau of a mounted cowboy driving a group of spirited horses through a corral gate—an iconic scene of the American West rendered with movement and narrative depth.
The lower register showcases Mortensen’s signature craftsmanship, with hand-finished texturing and expressive modeling evident in the horses’ musculature and the rider’s posture. Substantial side handles and splayed feet provide both functionality and stability, while the gently arched crest adds a refined architectural silhouette. Signed “J.B. Mortensen” within the casting, confirming authorship.
A compelling decorative and functional object, ideal for Western, ranch, or lodge interiors, and a collectible example of Mortensen Studios ironwork.
Dimensions: 36.5″H x 62″W x 13″D
Condition: Very good, sturdy condition. Light surface wear consistent with use, including minor abrasions and soot residue to mesh. Ironwork remains structurally sound. Signature visible within casting. Please view all photos for condition.
