FS0328 AN ELEGANT ORNATE RECLAIMED VICTORIAN CAST IRON FIRE SURROUND

A stunning ornate, reclaimed, Victorian cast iron fire surround. The surround is of a large size and has a very intricate design with a central "eye" on the crossbar, surrounded by medallions, acanthus leaves and horns of plenty holding fruit and the side edges are shaped. There are bluebells running down the top of the legs. The designs are surrounded by raised mouldings. There are flowers and reeding above the mouldings, below the mantel, and decorative repeating borders. The mantel front and side edges have decorative detailing. The iron has been blacked and polished and has a good finish. The fire surround has a lug on each side, under the mantel, for fixings to attach the surround to the wall and each foot has a small tab. 

The fire surround is in good antique condition with some signs of age and some wear, as expected. The mantel edges have some knocks. The iron has some casting marks and pitting. One of the screws under the mantel does not sit totally flush. The back of the fire has surface rust. Please see pictures for condition details. The fire surround has a fantastic ornate appearance and is a very nice example of Victorian design and is an ideal period feature item for a home.
