FC0208 A RECLAIMED CAST IRON VICTORIAN COMBINATION FIRE PRETTY TILES

A fantastic, reclaimed, Victorian tiled cast iron combination fire. The fire is very ornate and has a lovely domed smoke hood with leaf designs and there is reeded and waved line detail surrounding the hood. The mantel has shaped front edges and moulded detail. The fire has shaped front bars and an ashpan cover but please be aware that the ashpan cover is a replacement of the period and is not original to this fire. The fire has been fitted with 10 decorative brown and cream tiles, 5 on each side of the fire opening, with an intricate design. PLEASE NOTE: The tiles are not currently fixed in place. We can fix the tiles using plaster of paris, or fix tiles of your choice (THAT HAVE BEEN AGREED FIRST as not all tiles will fit), included in the price. If you would like the fire without tiles we will reduce the fire cost by £100. Please contact us to discuss your requirements before purchase. The back of the fire has a registered design dating number, RD238679, dating the fire to 1894.

The fire insert is in solid antique condition with some signs of age and wear, as expected. The iron has some knocks, pitting and casting marks. The front of the fire has a circular casting mark. The back of the insert has surface rust. The tiles have crazing to the glaze and some staining. There are some small chips to the tile edges. One top tile has a break to the corner but it is not noticeable from the front face. The back of the fire insert has some surface rust as expected. The fire brick has some knocks and there is a gap between the grill and the bottom of the brick. Please see pictures for condition details. The fire has a lovely period appearance and it would make a fantastic addition to a fireplace.
