For sale is this gorgeous, neatly proportioned, restored antique cast iron bedroom fireplace insert, ready to install and use for decorative purposes.
The insert has been fully restored and is supplied with all antique parts. It was cast between 1890-1900.
It has been stripped, cleaned, heatproof treated and fully polished to bring out its character. During restoration we added a period ash cover and a decorative (not functional) cast iron damper. Aesthetically gorgeous, but for this reason we are selling this item for decorative rather than functional use. Otherwise all parts are original.
It is cast in a classic Victorian arched style, distinguishable by its use of decorative ironwork around a deep arch. The beautiful detail and quality can be seen in the pictures both inside and outside of the fire.
The fireplace and all its parts are made of solid cast iron.
This fireplace is ready to install and will add character to your home.
Fits neatly into an existing fireplace opening and will fit into most standard mantle surrounds or stand proud as it is.

About our restorations:
Our fireplaces and surrounds are restored and finished using traditional methods and materials. A restored fireplace will bear well concealed signs of the restoration work and will have natural imperfections due to the nature of antique cast iron. This simply adds to the character of the piece in our view.

Installation:
If you are installing a heating appliance in your home, it is your responsibility to ensure that you or your builder follows building regulations and, where applicable, complies with HETAS and GAS SAFE regulations in the UK. Cast Iron Fireplace Restorations Ltd cannot accept responsibility for the performance or suitability of an individual fireplace, which should be assessed prior to installation by a suitably qualified installer.
If your fireplace is purely for decorative purposes, the HETAS and GAS SAFE regulations do not apply.
A reliable local installer or builder can normally be found using an online service such as mybuilder.com or myjobquote.co.uk
