Antique Cast Iron Fireplaces

For many years antique cast iron inserts and antique fireplace surrounds were a major part of our business. We restored and sold hundreds of them over a 30 year period. We still have approximately 100 cast iron inserts and maybe 1,000 parts. We can offer these unrestored or fully restored as shown in the images, below. The casting detail of the originals is always far superior to the reproductions, and the variety is huge, unlike the sameness of the reproductions.

We have many more inserts available. DETAILS & IMAGES TO COME.

GRATE1003
This is a remarkable Georgian cast iron chimney piece, c.1830's. We purchased it about 25 years ago, in Adelaide. The vendor told us that it was in the basement of a very old shop, situated on the port road. It is certainly a very old piece, with the classic Georgian features of roundels and fluting. We have never seen another example in cast iron, either here or in the U.K. There is no stamp to indicate the maker or origin.
