Here is a good quality antique Victorian style cast iron fire grate, circa mid 20th Century, in excellent condition, originating from the UK. Benefitting from a freestanding design, the item features a castellated basket with decorative riveted vertical spike bars for keeping the logs in place. The internal grate can be removed from the basket, allowing for easy cleaning. The grate features a pair of integral dogs that boast a twist column design with shaped ends. The dogs and basket are integral and welded together, meaning the item is more stable and sturdy (therefore safer) than those that are independent of the grate. This also means the fire grate does not require assembly. The item’s construction is of cast and hand forged iron.
The grate features an attractive finish, giving it a fantastic colour and appearance. The item’s finish and good condition can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This fire grate would look superb in a variety of hearths or fireside locations. It would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional. So don’t miss out your chance to own a lovely fire grate.
