Item Description

This very large scale carved oak fire surround is a time-capsule into history. Hand-carved by a talented craftsman at the end of the 19thcentury, it features a decorative frieze and jambs with an ornate central mask of the Green Man, a legendary symbol of rebirth and spring growth, surrounded by fruiting foliage. It is a highly decorative antique fireplace for a main room, showcasing talented craftsmanship that simply cannot be imitated by hand in the modern day. This hand-carved oak fire surround wears an aged, warm oak finish that showcases the beauty of the wood tone, the shelf supported by carved brackets above Jacobean revival jambs.
