This large Victorian fireplace accessory in the Art Nouveau style functions as a brass fender for a hearth. Made from brass with a polished gold finish, the piece includes sinuous openwork side supports with stylised organic scrollwork, a moulded curb base, and a low horizontal gallery rail. Visual details comprise cast elements, turned finials, and sliding side hardware enabling adjustable length. The fender measures 25 cm high, 128 cm wide, and 36 cm deep, with an extendable span. Placement suits the hearth of a fireplace in a living room, dining room, or study, providing a decorative barrier to contain embers and sparks while complementing traditional or period interior schemes. The construction allows simple adjustment to fit varying fireplace widths. Maintenance involves standard polishing to preserve the metallic sheen of the brass.

FAQs

Popularised during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Art Nouveau hearth accessories moved away from rigid Victorian symmetry toward flowing, organic forms inspired by nature, natural curves, and whiplash lines.

Fireplace fenders of this period were predominantly crafted from solid brass, sheet metal, or cast iron, frequently finished with polished brass detailing or lacquered protective coats to withstand heat.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished joinery, period-appropriate weight, original oxidisation, and signature stylized motifs such as whiplash curves, stylized floral castings, or sinuous geometric side supports.

Positioning an antique brass fender around a contemporary or restored period hearth adds texture, warm metal tones, and architectural definition to modern living areas.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and use non-abrasive metal cleaners sparingly to preserve any natural age-related patina and prevent surface scratches.
