About the Item

A large and attractive Edwardian Hardwood Bolection fireplace surround painted in a dove grey undercoat. A generously deep return connects to a sweeping bolection moulded frame with a carved outer border of ‘Meander’ (Greek Key) all supported and resting on stepped foot blocks. Fire opening size: 1015mm high x 1055mm wide. English 1905. Greek Key: is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Such a design is also called the Greek fret or Greek key design, although these are modern designations. On the one hand, the name "Meander" recalls the twisting and turning path of the Maeander River in Asia Minor, and on the other hand, as Karl Kerenyi pointed out, "the Meander is the figure of a labyrinth in linear form". Among some Italians, these patterns are known as Greek Lines. Usually the term is used for motifs with straight lines and right angles.
