Antique Neoclassical Cast Iron Fireplace Surround

An antique Neoclassical fireplace surround in polished cast iron.

This elegant and original nineteenth century surround features a variety of Neoclassical decorative elements, in the iconic Adams style. The lintel of the piece includes bellflower garlands and a central floral paterae; a decorative design complimented by similar motifs on each of the pilaster-styled jambs.

Stylised acanthus leaf corbels sit at the top of each jamb, complimenting the acanthus leaf motif around the opening of the piece. Dentil decoration separates the moulded shelf and the lintel of the piece.
