How do I know if my fireplace is a Malm?
1 Answer

To know if your fireplace is a Malm, first look for a label. The brand usually added labels to the back of their pieces, but it's possible that the marking fell off over the years. If you can't locate a label, ensure that the fireplace has a pedestal base, as the maker included them on all of its mid-century modern designs. Find a variety of vintage fireplaces on 1stDibs.
