Ornate Cast Iron Fire Surround- Reclaimed- Victorian Style
Add depth and heritage to your home with this reclaimed Ornate Cast Iron Fire Surround, a striking Victorian style piece in exceptional condition. Rich in character and presence, it brings historical reference and solid craftsmanship into any interior. Cast iron fire surrounds became popular in the 19th century, particularly during the Victorian era, when intricate design met industrial innovation.
Cast iron proved ideal for fireplace surrounds due to its strength, fire resistance, and ability to hold detailed patterns. This material allowed for ornate designs that remained functional and long-lasting. Today, cast iron remains a favourite for those seeking authentic period style paired with lasting durability.
This particular Ornate Cast Iron Fire Surround showcases a detailed Victorian style design, from floral flourishes to decorative moulding. It shows no scuffs, chips, or marks—a rare find for its age. Adding to its value is the original slate hearth, which remains with the piece. The hearth shows signs of past use, including ash staining, surface scratches, and some corner wear. However, its inclusion enhances both the aesthetic and practical value.
Measuring 170cm wide, 23cm deep, and 137cm high, this cast iron fire surround makes a strong and ornate statement. The inner opening is 96.5cm square, large enough to frame a bold feature fire. Weighing approximately 50kg, it’s a substantial piece that suits use in a spacious room. The slate hearth measures 152cm by 52.8cm, providing a solid base with historical appeal.
Eco-conscious Choice
Choosing reclaimed features like the Ornate Cast Iron Fire Surround supports sustainable interiors. Reusing original materials keeps them from landfill and reduces the need for newly manufactured alternatives. It’s a simple way to make a home feel established without excess environmental impact.
Reclaimed items also bring authenticity; this fire very closely mimics period design. Indeed, its details and finish bring an historical visual aesthetic. The included slate hearth, worn but original, deepens that sense of place.
Whether installed for working order or used decoratively, this Ornate Surround adds interest and narrative to any room. Its size, finish, and classic design set it apart from other copies.
If you’re looking for a heritage centrepiece, this Ornate Fire Surround offers craftsmanship, scale, and character that few pieces can match.
