Summary[edit]

Description

Fireplace screen on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.

Samuel Yellin (1884-1940) was born into a Jewish family in Mohyliv-Podilskyi in the Russian Empire (now Ukraine). From age 11 to 16, he was an ironsmith's apprentice. He left Ukraine at the age of 17 and traveled through Europe. By 1905, his mother, two sisters, and a brother were living in Philadelphia, and he moved there to join them. He took classes at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art, and within months had been hired as a teacher. He opened his own shop in 1906, and moved to a specially designed larger studio in 1915. During the 1920s, his shop employed as many as 250 workers, many of them European artisans. Yellin himself preferred Renaissance and Medieval designs.

This wrought iron fireplace screen, made between 1920 and 1925, is of Renaissance Revival design and was made for his own home.
