Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1860s:
Cast corner shells and urn finials: decorative styling typical of Victorian hearth furniture.
Pierced foliate brackets supporting the rail: characteristic mid-Victorian decorative casting.
Dark oxidisation and verdigris in the deep recesses: natural age from hearth use.
Multi-part assembly with turned knops: standard nineteenth-century metalwork construction.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Victorian brass fender is an antique fireplace accessory dated 1860, finished in warm gold. The piece comprises a solid brass construction featuring a moulded lower base with horizontal reeding, a raised horizontal rail supported by ornate scroll brackets, and spherical turned finials at each corner alongside fluted terminal caps. The structure sits on the hearth to protect the surrounding room from stray embers. Practical dimensions are 21.5 cm high, 132 cm wide, and 35 cm deep, providing a substantial barrier for a traditional fireplace. The design integrates securely in front of an open hearth within a living room, drawing room, or traditional study, complementing period fireplaces and hearth surrounds while containing coal, logs, and ash within the fire area.

FAQs

A fireplace fender is a low metal border placed around the base of a hearth to retain coal ash and embers. During the Victorian period, brass fenders were crafted as both functional safety barriers and decorative elements for reception rooms.

Antique brass fenders were typically constructed using cast or sheet brass, frequently featuring turned finials, moulded rails, and cast iron under-frames to provide stability and heat resistance.

Authentic Victorian brass fenders generally feature cast iron weighted bases, hand-turned components, and natural oxidisation in low-relief areas. Look for heavier weight and hand-fitted joins rather than uniform modern machine stampings.

Position the brass fender directly on the hearth plate in front of a stove or open grate to frame the fireplace. The warm metallic tones create visual structure against tiled, stone, or timber mantelpieces.

Dust the fender regularly using a soft dry cloth and clean periodically with specialist brass polish to remove soot accumulation. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical solvents that could scratch the surface metal.
