Rare 19th Century Thomas Elsley Canopy on Legs Hob Grate

About the Item

Rare 19th century canopy on legs hob grate by Thomas Elsley. Fine egg and dart frame surrounds a delicately cast forest style hob grate. The unusual ash catcher is operated by the brass knob. When closed the steel plates hold the ash just below the grate, whilst a turn of the knob makes the plates tilt allowing the ash to fall onto the hearth or a strategically placed container for easy cleaning. Behind the hobs and clay back would either be simple rendered brick work or decorative brick work such as herringbone. London, England, circa 1893. Fully restored and finished with traditional black grate polish this grate is ready for a solid fuel, coal or log fire.
