Victorian Cast Iron Surround
Gorgeous restored antique original cast iron fireplace surround, resplendent with late Victorian / Art Nouveau character.
This is a lovely condition antique fire surround with original foundry marks, reclaimed from a period property in London. It was cast between 1890 - 1900. The beautiful detail and quality can be seen in the pictures
It is made of solid, heavyweight cast iron in excellent condition. The decorative ironwork includes exquisite a nouveau relief over the opening.
See all pics for the final finish. The surround fits neatly over an existing fireplace opening or against a flat wall.
During restoration we retained the perfectly proportioned mantle shelf. We stripped coated and polished the entire piece to give a lovely, lustrous finish.
There are discreet mounting lugs on the outer body for simple and safe installation.

There is no rear projection on this piece and a 1cm rebate in case it is going over an insert, making it a great choice to fit either against a flat wall or over an existing opening

About our restorations:
Our fireplaces and surrounds are restored and finished using traditional methods and materials. A restored fireplace will bear well concealed signs of the restoration work and will have natural imperfections due to the nature of antique cast iron. This simply adds to the character of the piece in our view. The final look is outstanding.
