Fender altered. Early 19th century Wirework Fireplace Fender. Super decorative with lots of intricate ironwork, having a brass hand hammered top rail and a super, super curve, it is so round and stunning. Apparently, this fender was a much larger one and has subsequently at some period of time been altered to make it shorter. I believe it was the centerpiece taken out and then the two ends pushed back together. It appears to have been done professionally. We will get you pictures of the exact repairs. Overall in otherwise fabulous condition with a fabulous look. Dating from 1790-1805. Measuring 43" wide, 15 ½" high, 19" deep.

Fireplace Mantle Surround:Empire Gilt Mounts
|
Classical mantel with mounts. Here is something amazingly spectacular and in my opinion a very rare find. As you can see it is a monumental fireplace mantel with over mirror…Oh in the classical emperor style. It is a mahogany veneer probably on pine. It has a nice clean surface finish which appears to be original. As you can see it is mounted with finely casted decorative mounts in gilt bronze. The castings are all very fine – it appears on the bottom of the mantel that there may have been another set of mounts under the torch with the flame or quite possibly a candle girandole and you can see that there are spots there that something is missing.

French Bronze Fireplace Chenets Full Figure
|
Here is a pair of absolutely lovely and precious fireplace chenets. They are very classical in design. There of a little boy and girl putto or cherub sitting a top a classical gilt bronze base. The cherubs are in a very rich and dark dark bronze. There are fabulous gilt bronze accents on the little blankets which are wrapped around the cherubs’ shoulders - I am knocked about by the superior definition in the casting in these bronzes – it really is exceptionally fine. The lines are mellow – fingers and toes are so well defined. Of course they date from the mid 19th century. They have an open space in the back so I’ m not sure if they were attached by a central rod or not.

This will certainly add a finishing touch to your hearth for sure. This double rod fender & sometimes called a bumper are usually used in front of the fireplace tall screen. Oddly enough it really completes the hearth by framing it. It is made of brass & dates from the 1890’s. The surface is mellow & if you like you can polish it up to a brilliant shine. Measuring 41” Wide x 7 ½” High at the highest point x 14” Deep

Carved Walnut Fireplace Mantle
|
The very best Victorian Fireplace mantle to ever come along! Really, I bought this mantle thirty five years ago in Philadelphia. I have saved it all of these years hoping to someday build a fireplace in my bedroom: I'm giving up the idea, its not going too happen! This is a tiny mantle, made in the middle 1800’s. Beautiful rich American Black Walnut, all hand carved. The surface patina is original & just so elegantly rich & lustrous.

Federal Design Fireplace Mantle Surround
|
American Federal Style Fireplace Mantle with over mirror. Even more breathtaking in real life !In a true classical design having a central classical urn for the central theme with swags of garlands ,acanthus leafs & Greek key molding, topped off by a classical olive wreath & feather finials. The mantle is made of pine & still has the original white paint underneath a few layers of paint. I can see the gesso underneath the paint of the acanthus leaf on the knees, such great quality, Even with the overprint it is still quite exceptional & very presentable

This Fender is Classical American & dating from the early 1800’s.Not only would this be great on the hearth , but I can see this as being used for an even more amazing purpose ,like a crest on a very simple formal furniture item or even mounted over a door or entry way.

Ornate cast bronze fireplace andirons .Dating from the 19th century; they are a perfect small size. The designs bronze casting is just so unusual .They are classical for sure but something about the designs reminds me of Hebrew symbols. The feet are hairy paws. The condition is excellent & the surface patina is very rich & mellow .Even though they are small, they are very heavy. This pair would work very well with all classical decorating.

Hand Hammered Copper Fireplace Bumper
|
Completely hand made copper fireplace bumper. This bumper is very unusual being so classical in design. The copper is hand hammered onto wood, but first I see that the copper was laid out & tooled with an all over pattern, than hammered onto the wood frame. There are three oval plaques on the front with a highly detailed rams head .This bumper was made in the 19th century .The condition is excellent & what I find interesting & a good indicator of its age is that the wood is very light weight & dry. Because the fender is so classical & yet somewhat primitive in style I think it would work so well with arts & crafts era decorating. Measuring 52” Long x 14 ½” deep x 3 ½” high.
