FIREPLACES, FENDERS AND FIRE-IRONS

My fireplaces are replicas of late-18th- and 19th-century originals. The surrounds are fine resin castings painted white, the cast-iron insets are made from a metal-filled resin, and the grate bars are polished brass.

My fenders suitable for 18th- and 19th-century fireplaces are made of black painted metal and brass.

My fire-irons are a classic 18th-century design, which remains popular throughout the 19th century. They are made of gold-plated metal.
