About the Item
A richly detailed 18th-century French cast iron fireback featuring a vivid hunting scene in high relief. The central motif portrays two figures carrying a game animal suspended on a pole—an iconic depiction often associated with harvest or biblical allegory. Both figures are dressed in period attire, their movements captured with dynamic realism.
Framed by elegant scrollwork and a shaped crest, the fireback’s border reflects Baroque or Rococo influences, adding an ornate visual anchor to the piece. The surface showcases a naturally aged patina, enhancing its historical character and charm.
Originally designed to reflect heat into the room and protect the fireplace masonry, this fireback now serves as a striking decorative element—ideal for both functional hearth use or as wall-mounted artwork.
