Genuine Victorian Cast Iron Fireplace & Hand Made Timber Fire Surround
GENUINE VICTORIAN CAST IRON FIREPLACE & HAND MADE TIMBER SURROUND. For sale here is an original, fully-restored Victorian cast iron fireplace, complete with new hand-made surround. The fireplace is a late 19th Century item and was heavily painted, with much of the detail you now see obscured from view. I sand-blasted the fireplace using a fine-grade media at low pressure to bring it back to bare metal. Following this, the bare cast iron was burnished and then a protective coat of lead paste was applied prior to final polishing. The results speak for themselves in the photographs, with the fine cast details now well-highlighted.

This is a good quality casting, now authentically finished. I have had to replace the missing original damper plate; this has been reproduced by hand and finished to match the fireplace.

The surround is a faithful visual reproduction of a design I came across in a facsimile of a Victorian building merchant's catalogue by Young & Marten. The main body of the surround is made from 25mm thick MDF, with tulipwood edging, chamfered-ogee and bull-nose mouldings, all of which have been finished with a coat of white acrylic primer, ready for your choice of undercoat and topcoat.

No fuzzy MDF edges to worry about here. Fireplace: 30" (762mm) wide, 36" (915mm) high, approx.

Mantel shelf: 49-1/2" (1180mm) wide, 6-3/8" (162mm) deep, 43 (1092mm) high. Collection in person is also available at a mutually agreed time.
