Antique Cast Iron Fireplaces
For many years original, antique cast iron inserts and antique fireplace surrounds were a major part of our business. We restored and sold hundreds of them over a 40 year period. We still have a small number remaining, but demand is strong and, once they are sold, they cannot be repeated. The casting detail of the originals is always far superior to the reproductions, and the variety is huge, unlike the very limited designs available in reproductions.
