This Edwardian brass fireplace fender combines functional hearth protection with traditional decorative metalwork. The piece is cast from brass with a polished finish that yields a bright gold colour. Details visible include a low moulded base, scroll arms, and distinct spherical ball finials surmounting each end. The well cast structure shows careful detailing along the rail and base. Measuring 32 cm high, 150 cm wide, and 37 cm deep, the fender fits neatly in front of an open hearth or fireplace opening. Placed on the floor in a living room, study, or drawing room, it adds period character to a traditional English country house interior while framing a fireplace surround. The accessory provides an authentic touch for period property restoration projects or classic fireplace displays.

FAQs

An Edwardian brass fireplace fender is a metal curb or barrier placed around the perimeter of a hearth. Designed during the early 20th century, its primary function was to contain stray embers while serving as a decorative element in period living spaces.

These fenders were predominantly crafted from solid sheet and cast brass, often mounted over a heavy cast iron or steel base frame to provide stability and resist heat deformation.

Authentic period fenders feature cast brass fittings such as urn or ball finials, slotted internal corner joins, and natural surface wear or light oxidisation on unpolished sections.

Place the fender directly on the hearth around an open fireplace or modern wood-burning stove to create a defined focal point that introduces metallic warmth to contemporary stone or tile flooring.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft microfibre cloth. To remove tarnish, apply a dedicated brass cleaner with fine cotton wool, avoiding harsh chemical abrasives or scrubbers that could scratch the metal.
