About: Fireboard

An Entity of Type: work, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A fireboard or chimney board is a panel designed to cover a fireplace during the warm months of the year. It was "commonly used during the later 18th and early 19th centuries" in places like France and New England. In warm weather, "a fireboard effectively reduced the number of mosquitoes and other insects, or even birds, that might enter a house through an open, damperless chimney." The "board or shutterlike contrivance" typically "of wood or cast of sheet metal" is "frequently decorated with painting and stencilling." Some fireboards have notches cut out of the lowest edge to accommodate andirons. Fireboards are also called: chimney boards, chimney pieces, chimney stops, fire boards, summer boards.

  • Фигура-обманка (в английском языке обычно во множественном числе — фигуры-обманки, англ. «dummy boards» — дословно «доски-манекены», англ. «chimney boards» — дословно «каминные экраны», фр. «devant de cheminée» — дословно «перед камином», а позже — англ. «painting cut out of a board», «картина, вырезанная из доски») — изображение-обманка (фр. «trompe-l’oeil») в форме человеческой фигуры или домашнего животного, нарисованное на тонкой деревянной панели, а затем вырезанное. Фигуры-обманки были популярны с XVII по XIX век, сначала в Европе, а затем — в Америке. Первоначально они использовались в качестве экранов для камина, позже их устанавливали в парадных залах особняков и парках. Такие фигуры представляют собой как изящно одетых взрослых людей или детей, так и прислугу. (ru)
