This extraordinary cast iron fireback from France is close to 38 inches tall, and it is unique in that it has historical significance. It bears the royal coat of arms of the house of La Tour d’Auvergne, and was cast around the year 1650. This heraldry belongs to the cadet branch of the family. Its cadet branch, extinct in 1802, ruled the duchy of Bouillon in the Southern Netherlands from 1594, and held the dukedoms of Albret and Château-Thierry in the peerage of France since 1660. The oldest known firebacks date to around 1460, but very few have survived. These impressive cast iron works of art were placed inside the chimney, against the back wall. They served to not only prevent heat from escaping into the wall, but more importantly, to reflect the heat back into the room. The stone walls inside a Chateau were cold and damp, so firebacks soon became very popular in the large properties of France. These heraldic firebacks served an important symbolic reminder of the strength of the family, and were placed inside the heart of the chimney, within the most important room of the Chateau: “La Grande Salle”. The central cartouche that contains the coat of arms is surrounded by two inverted cornucopias decorated with the royal Fleur de Lys. On the opposite side of each of these is a fantastic large rampant griffin...
