Reproduction
Cast Iron period fireplaces have seen a considerable revival of
interest over recent years, despite the fact that for much of
the latter part of the 20th century people ripped out their old
fireplaces and consigned them to the scrap heap.
Improved
production techniques and authentic high quality reproduction
design has helped fuel the rebirth of interest in reproduction
cast iron fires in Victorian,
Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts and Art Deco styles.
Cast Iron Fireplaces tend to fall into 3 distinct categories -
the Arched Insert, Tiled Inserts, and Combinations.
Arched
Insert Fireplaces
Arched
Inserts are fireplaces like the Radley, (centre right), which
are arched or curved in style and are inserted into a fascia with
a wooden or stone mantel surround. Arched Insert Fireplaces tend
to look very businesslike, simple in form and highly practical.

Tiled
Insert Fireplaces
Tiled
Inserts, like the Tulip (top right) are fairly self explanatory
- the cast iron fireplace frame will have side panels of decorative
tiles inserted. These are most decorative and attractive.

Combination
Fireplaces
These are
complete all-in-one integrated fireplaces which include the surround
and mantel. Sometimes simply called 'Combinations', as shown in
the Celtic (bottom right) - one of our most popular fireplaces.
These were very popular for bedroom settings in bygone days and
are making a strong comeback in decorative or practical room settings.

Fascias
An alternative
method of completing a fire setting - the Fascia. We can offer
a range of styles in various finishes as well as several inset
gas fires and electric convector fire configurations. The Fascia
offers a greater degree of choice and opportunities to 'mix and
match' fascias with frames, fires, fire baskets and frets.
Fascias may be used in conjunction with any mantel or fire surround,
whether in wood, limestone, steel or marble.
