This Edwardian fire basket is an English fireplace grate in the Regency revival style, formed of cast iron with a charcoal black graphite finish. The oval scallop form incorporates a half hood with a fluted domed backplate and ornate pierced detail around the rim of the curved front grate. A ring finial tops the backplate, while the structure rests upon a quartet of short legs terminating in paw feet. Signs of age include a desirable aged patina across the cast iron surface. Sized at 42.5 cm high, 47 cm wide, and 30.5 cm deep, the piece is suitable for burning coal, logs, and kindling. Placed on a fireplace hearth, it serves as a functional and decorative fireplace accessory in a home today.

FAQs

A Regency Revival fire basket is a heavy cast iron hearth fitting designed to hold solid fuel such as coal or logs above the fireplace floor, styled after classical early 19th-century motifs.

Traditional fire baskets were manufactured using sand-casting techniques, pouring molten iron into detailed moulds to create durable, heat-resistant components with integral surface ornament.

Authentic period pieces exhibit crisp cast details, natural surface oxidisation or blacking patina, distinct mould seam lines, and substantial physical weight consistent with historic foundry production.

A cast iron fire basket can be placed within a traditional chimney breast or set as a decorative focal point in a non-working fireplace alcove filled with bioethanol burners or timber logs.

Maintain cast iron by removing loose ash with a soft brush and periodically applying traditional black grate polish to protect the iron against ambient moisture and corrosion.
