About this piece
back to topA small cast iron fire grate in original condition dating from the 1850s. At over 170 years old, this antique fire grate has stood the test of time with no breaks or repairs. It is of a rare size, measuring less than 40cm in width, suggesting that it was once used in a small fireplace of a 19th century Victorian home. Beautifully designed with gothic revival styling, this small cast iron fire grate is detailed with tracery and sweeping finials to the front and sides with stylised leaves to the back plate. Designed for both style and function.
