Hand Forged Arts & Crafts Era Wrought Iron Fireplace with Dragon Sculpture & Ash

About the Item

Rare, decorative and practical 'slide-in' fireplace with dragonheads. Most of the 19th century and early 20th century mansions in Europe had fireplaces both in the living rooms downstairs and in the (larger) bedrooms upstairs. Most of the mantle pieces survived, but the actual wrought iron fire places that were in them have disappeared, because over the decades they got replaced by new kinds of heating. This hand-crafted and stylish fireplace from the Arts and Crafts era was adjusted slightly, because it was used as a gas heater for a long time, hence the wrought iron circles in the rack where the burners were. The stylized dragon sculptures on either side of this beautifully designed and hand-forged fireplace are an absolute joy to own and look at and they too will never fail to impress. If you have recently purchased a home with a mantle piece but without the actual fireplace and ash then this wonderful, unique and practical antique specimen could be perfect for you. Mind you, our fair price even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum width x depth x height: 34 x 22 x 18.1 inches. Maximum width x depth x height of the back/wall plate: 17.3 x 12.4 x 16.9 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

    Striking and highly stylish, handcrafted fire fender. This stunning, bronze and brass fireplace fender is a great example of the quality and beauty that artisans were creating in the late 1800s here in Europe. The design is where they started and the top quality crafted & organically stylized details with their amazing patina, makes this design very attractive and decorative. There are a few minor imperfections (in the form of minor dents), but otherwise this rare antique is in superb condition. It is the minor 'wear' combined with its warm and beautiful patina that prove that this remarkable fender already had a long life and that is was used and enjoyed by generations before us. This antique is as strong and firm as the day it was handcrafted all those years ago and we are proud to be able to offer it to you, the 1stdibs community, first. Imagine the stories this antique would be able to tell us and if used like former owners used and enjoyed it, then this quality crafted antique will last at least another 150 years.
