Description
Agnews Cast Iron Fireplace Surround with integrated Mantelpiece 45″ H
This reclaimed Agnews cast iron fireplace surround is a striking example of early twentieth century craftsmanship and design. Made from solid cast iron, it combines durability with artistic flair. The art nouveau styling features a pomegranate motif flowing gracefully from the centre of the frieze down to the framework legs. Additionally, the tiled inserts show stylised tulips, their soft curves contrasting beautifully with the iron’s strength and texture. Measuring 35 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 45 inches tall, the surround suits use in a large hallway or reception room.
Agnew’s, a respected name in fireplace manufacture, produces quality ironwork that blended practicality with elegant design. The Agnews cast iron fireplace surround demonstrates this heritage through its intricate detail and solid construction. Cast iron itself became popular in the nineteenth century when foundries mastered the process of pouring molten metal into moulds. This technique allowed for detailed decorative work and long-lasting results. Furthermore, the material retains heat efficiently, making it ideal for fireplace inserts and surrounds that radiate warmth long after the fire fades.
Reclaimed Character
As a reclaimed piece, this Agnews cast iron fireplace surround carries visible signs of its past life. There is surface rust on the fire back and basket, along with light scuffs, scratches and worn edges. The missing baffle requires replacement with a modern replica. Its attached mantel provides a useful 5″ deep shelf for photos, ornaments or slim vases. With some minor refurbishment, the surround can once again form a stunning centrepiece.
Choosing reclaimed interior features like this Agnews cast iron fireplace surround offers both environmental and aesthetic benefits. Indeed, reuse reduces waste and preserves valuable materials that are otherwise lost. Moreover, each reclaimed piece adds character and authenticity to a space, carrying with it the story of another era. This Agnews cast iron fireplace surround, recovered from a house renovation, brings a sense of craftsmanship rarely matched by modern alternatives. Once restored, it will not only warm the room but also enrich it with the artistry and history of British ironwork.
Use with a stone hearth for sturdy fireplace support.
