The brass has been partially polished so as to retain its antique appearance. The fire register is in good antique condition with some signs of use and some repaired damage, as expected. The fire brick was broken and has been repaired using the correct glue. The fire brick is stable within the basket. The iron has some casting marks and pitting. The brass has some tarnish and scratches. The back and sides have some surface rust. Please see pictures for condition details. The fire basket has a very fine Victorian appearance and it would make a fantastic feature for a fireplace.
