Arts and Crafts Wrought Iron Fire Basket, C. 1930

A substantial handmade Arts and Crafts wrought iron fire basket in a simple medieval style, dating to around 1930.

This impressive blacksmith-made piece is heavily hand-constructed from approximately ¾" x 1" rectangular iron bar, with the components drilled and riveted together. The front and back are finished with hammered and scrolled top bars, giving the basket a strong yet decorative medieval character.

The base incorporates extended bars at each corner, designed to rest on stone blocks or bricks, raising the basket from the hearth and allowing for easier cleaning beneath.

A particularly substantial and characterful piece, ideal for a large open fireplace or inglenook.

The fire basket is in very good condition. It has been painted black at some point; this finish would be expected to burn off with use.
