This Victorian fireplace fender is made from steel and iron in silver and dark grey colours. The piece displays a pierced scrollwork design with cast scrolling, floral decoration, foliate moulding, and chased metalwork, finished with shaped paw feet. Measuring 16 cm high, 122 cm wide, and 25 cm deep, it is sized for a domestic hearth. The metal fender sits directly on the fireplace hearth to protect the surrounding floor from embers and ash. Its Victorian style and decorative ironwork suit traditional and period interior schemes. The metal construction provides durability for daily use in front of an open fireplace or wood burner. The low profile frames the hearth while allowing warmth to radiate into the living space.

Fireplace fenders emerged in the late 17th and 18th centuries as low metal borders placed around the hearth to prevent burning embers from rolling onto wooden floors or carpets.

Nineteenth-century fenders were predominantly constructed from cast iron, wrought iron, brass, and polished steel, often featuring cast or pierced decorative scrollwork and moulded feet.

Authentic 19th-century steel fenders typically display hand-riveted joints, subtle hand-chased metal details, and uneven signs of age-appropriate oxidisation on the underside.

Position the fender neatly around the base of an open hearth or log burner to frame the fireplace area and provide a grounded architectural focal point.

Remove loose soot with a soft brush, then gently polish the steel with fine grade wire wool and microcrystalline wax to prevent rust without stripping the aged patina.
