From: Fireplace Accessories, a coffee table book by Dona Z. Meilach. Schiffer Publishing copyright 2002
"Oak trees with the leaves, acorns.... can be a whole story of the oak tree as in Glenn F. Gilmore’s composition. Gilmore’s screens have so much going on with finite attention to details. Studying them is like poring over a fine oil painting to see what the artist included and how he developed them" page 46
"Glenn F. Gilmore has earned a deserved reputation for his fire screens and fire tool hardware. His screens combine artistic design with forged, fabricated accessories that are hand fitted to the individual opening. That requires working on site. He hand forges the hinges, levers, and handles, and finishes them with his special mix of oil and paste wax. In addition to his meticulous workmanship, each of his screens is customized to accommodate a client’s interests and visual ideas." page 57
