Item Description
An original large-scale Georgian period wrought and cast iron fire grate circa 1800 with a detachable decorative summer grate to the front.
Historically, summer fireplace grates like these had removable decorative elements to protect the finish when in use. This antique fire grate has this unique feature, allowing the front of the grate to be detached (see photos).
When complete, this fire grate is a feat of expert craftsmanship, decorated with urn finials to evoke a sense of grandeur, and an ornate serpentine fret.
With its tall and wide stature, this 225-year-old English fire grate is ideal for placement in a large chimneypiece. It will look stunning below the mantelpiece of a traditional Georgian townhouse as well as more contemporary settings seeking a classic look.
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Black graphite finish. Minor historic repairs. Chip to back left top edge of fireback. Transports as 2 pieces; due to age and use, these don't perfectly align.
