The fire opening is surrounded by fine mouldings, patterned ball detailing and there is a repeating border under the mantel. The original front bars with decorative finials are present and there is an ashpan cover. There are 2 fixing lugs for attaching the fire to the wall.
The iron has been blacked and polished and has a lovely finish. The fire is reclaimed and therefore has had some repairs and signs of age and use. The back has surface rust as expected. There are some casting marks, lines and pitting and some small scratches and knocks. The concrete fire back has had extensive repairs and therefore the fire is suited for occasional use.
