This Victorian extending brass fender brings period character to a fireplace hearth. The piece is made of heavy brass with a warm gold colour and a polished finish. It incorporates an adjustable telescopic rail, a moulded base rail, ball finials, and central decorative scrollwork. The construction includes angled corner supports with small recessed motifs and vertical end rails. The photograph shows lily pads floating in dark water behind the fender, a stone edging around the pond, and a small clump of dried grass resting near the base rail. The internal width extends from 125.7 to 134.6 cm and the depth measures 38.1 cm. In a modern interior, this item functions as a hearth surround and guard in a living room, drawing room, or study. It complements traditional fireplaces and works well with period hearth accessories. The metal construction withstands everyday domestic placement while defining the hearth space effectively.

FAQs

A Victorian brass fireplace fender is a decorative metallic kerb or guard placed around a hearth to contain burning embers, protect surrounding flooring, and frame the fireplace opening.

These fenders were constructed using cast or sheet brass, featuring internal sliding rails or telescoping mechanisms that allowed the width to be adjusted to fit various hearth sizes.

Authentic pieces feature cast brass ornamental details such as scrollwork or finials, substantial weight, visible joining rivets or adjustable rails, and signs of natural oxidisation on unpolished surfaces.

Position the fender directly in front of a tiled or stone hearth to frame an active or decorative fireplace, adding warm metallic texture to modern or period living spaces.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply specialized brass polish sparingly when required to lift tarnish while preserving the original surface patination.
