A very pretty, decorative, reclaimed late Victorian bedroom combination fire. The cast iron fire has a lovely design, typical of the era, with a sunflower in the centre of the cross bar and scrolling leaves and berries. The smoke hood has an ornate design and there are leaf designs at the top of the legs. The legs have column style detail. The fire retains its original front bars, fire brick and has a top plate. The fire has two fixing lugs, one on either side under the mantel, for fixings to attach the fire to the wall. The back of the fire has a registered design number, RD340893, dating the fire to 1899. The fire is in solid condition with some signs of age and some repaired damage. The iron has some small knocks, some pitting and some casting marks. The mantel has some repaired damage. There is a thin crack that has been strengthened with a metal plate that has been attached to the underside of the mantel. There is a chip out of one side of the mantel and a further thin crack. The mantel screws do not sit totally flush. The fire brick has some wear and there are some small gaps at the top. The back of the fire has some surface rust, as expected.  Please see pictures for condition details. The fire has a very nice period appearance, with an abundance of character and it will make a lovely decorative item for a bedroom.
