This 1930 Art Deco fire surround is an authentic period piece made from thick cut peach-tinted mirrored glass panels, polished chrome, and metal, resting on a jet black curved vitrolite glass base. The design incorporates silvered linear etched geometric lines, a stepped silhouette, and a central concave chrome grill insert. Visible details include horizontal etched parallel bands across the top and sides, a heavy protective metal wire mesh guard over the central heating element, and clean edge bevels on the glass panels. Measuring 100 cm high, 145 cm wide, and 24 cm deep, the surround is presented in very good and original condition with normal signs of age. It serves as a striking decorative focal point and can be installed in a living area or bedroom within contemporary and period home settings.

FAQs

Art Deco fire surrounds from the 1930s typically feature bold geometric forms, stepped profiles, and decorative materials such as polished chrome, vitrolite, or tinted mirrored glass panels.

These surrounds were built using sheet metal structures lined with tinted or clear mirrored glass panels, often incorporating chrome-plated metal trims and ceramic heating element inserts.

Authentic 1930s examples display age-appropriate silvering wear to the mirror backing, hand-etched geometric decoration, heavy gauge glass panels, and period-correct electric heating elements.

A mirrored fire surround can serve as a primary focal point in a reception room or bedroom, reflecting natural light and complementing both modern minimalist and period decorative schemes.

Glass surfaces should be cleaned using non-ammonia glass cleaners applied to a soft microfibre cloth, taking care to keep liquids away from the glass edges to preserve the original silvering.
