Fire Screens were used in Victorian times to shield a Woman's face from the heat
Needlepoint Screen has a red background with floral decorations in the corners
Center has a Elks Head surrounded by a Motto which reads
VIRUTIS GLORIA MERCES which means GLORY IS THE REWARD OF VALOR
A Google search reveals the this is the Clan Motto for the Robertson Clan of Scotland

Screen is 20-1/4"W x 29"H to top of carving
Condition
No damage or repairs to the wood

I see under the lining an old newspaper backing but can't see the date
