fire screen

Spark-catching mesh panel

A fire screen is a protective barrier placed in front of a fireplace to prevent sparks from escaping into the room.

Screens may be decorative metalwork, mesh panels, or glass doors.

The term also applies to heat-resistant panels that shield people or objects from intense heat: She positioned the fire screen before settling into her chair.
