Description

An old reproduction of a 17th century fire back decorated with the Charles I crest and dated 1635. There is what could be a date on the back - 1911, but this may also be a reference number of some sort. It is very heavy (I estimate around 50kg) so would be delivered on a pallet.

Condition: There are some areas where the finish has degraded so it may benefit from re-blacking, or can be left as it is, depending on the look you want.

Dimensions:

Width - 66.5cm

Height - 57cm

Approx. 2.5cm thick.

Free UK delivery - the item will be sent using a tracked and signed for pallet delivery service, which would be to the kerbside only. If you would like a quote for delivery elsewhere please get in touch.

Date of Manufacture

Antique and Unique has dated this Antique Cast Iron Fireback to the 1910s.

FAQs

Firebacks originated in the 15th and 16th centuries in continental Europe and Britain, initially used to protect the rear masonry of a fireplace from intense heat and to reflect warmth back into the room.

Firebacks are traditionally cast from heavy pig iron using sand-moulding techniques where wooden carvings, heraldic plaques, or everyday objects were pressed into the sand to create the relief pattern.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit deep, crisp sand-casting textures, heavy oxidation, uneven edges from crude mould boxes, and period-accurate heraldry, dates, or maker marks without modern welding or machine-cut edges.

A fireback can be positioned inside an active fireplace as a functional heat reflector or mounted directly onto a living room wall as a sculptural ironwork focal point.

Maintain cast iron by keeping it dry to prevent active rusting, gently cleaning soot with a soft brush, and applying a microcrystalline wax or specialist grate polish to protect the metal finish.
