Antique & Large English Barley Twist Oak & Fabric Fireplace Fender Seat, 1880s

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. If you appreciate the style, the quality, the beauty and the undoubtedly rich history of this Arts and Crafts fender...
