Antique Arts and Crafts fire fender / hearth surround in wood - probably pine, covered in beaten copper in a very unusual shape - broadly three sided with two short ends, almost semi octagonal in shape - see photograph 11 for profile.  I would put the age of the fender at sometime between 1900 and 1915 given the style.

Approximate measurements:

Front section 20¼" / 51½cm,

Side sections 21" / 53cm,

Short end sections 5½" / 14cm,

Internal length 49½" / 126cm,

External length 56¼" / 143cm,

Depth - front to back 17¼" / 44cm,

Height 4" / 10cm.

 

Condition:

Knocks and dents in commensurate with the age and use of the piece but mentioned here for absolute clarity - see close up photographs 5 and 7 for examples and compare with photographs 6 and 8 respectively for perspective.  A localised scorch mark approximately 1½" x 1" on the inside which would sit up against the hearth so not visible in use.  I've used up my allotment of photographs so please message me and I'll send you a photograph.  Please enlarge and examine the photographs and treat them as integral to the description and don't hesitate to ask any questions should you require clarification on any aspect of the description.
