The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in eighteenth-century France, extending fireplace fenders were designed to protect floor coverings from stray embers while framing the hearth. The adjustable telescopic central rail allowed the fender to fit hearths of varying dimensions across formal reception rooms.

These hearth surrounds were typically cast in solid brass or bronze, often featuring fire-gilded (ormolu) or lacquered finishes. The heavy cast metal provided stability against the hearth while hand-chased details accentuated the ornate Rococo motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast construction, hand-filed joinery, and natural wear or oxidisation within deep relief areas. Look for iron reinforcement bars along the base and traditional sliding mechanisms rather than modern machine fittings.

Position the fender directly on the hearth plate to frame a working or decorative fireplace opening. The warm metallic tones complement marble mantelpieces, dark timber surrounds, or modern painted chimney breasts.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth to prevent soot buildup. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive polishes, which can strip original lacquers, patinas, or gilding from the cast surface.
