A good sized reclaimed Victorian arched cast iron fireplace insert. Circa 1860.
The insert has the lesser seen solid clay base for the grate. This style of grate was advertised as a ”slow combustion grate” and boasted saving 30-40% in fuel over other grates! This is due to the solid base to the fire. The coal or logs sit on a solid clay base rather than a pierced cast iron base, so less oxygen feed the fire and the combustion of the fuel is slowed whilst still producing good heat.
Finished in heat resisting black paint.
For detailed sizes please see the size diagram in the image gallery.
We currently have a pair of these grates available.
