Description

Spectacular Arts & Crafts copper fireplace with matching fender adorned with ceramic cabochons and made by J & F Pool of Hayle in Cornwall. This company was founded when their father,
James Tinman Pool at Copperhouse, Hayle in Cornwall acquired this company then the Cornish hand Wrought Copper in the late 1880's
This originally came out of the music room in a hotel in Penzance now demolished and has been in my possession for some years in my conservatory as too big for any of my fireplaces. With regret I am putting it up for sale as need to pay for a new thatch roof!
It measures 139cms high. 202cms wide at the top and 158cms wide at the base. The depth at the top is 31cms.
There are two copper pillars to each side of the wonderful central floral repousse work. The top has a row of hearts all around.
The hood is the only thing that lifts off, otherwise it is all in once piece with a oak? backing so it very heavy. Such a thing of beauty should be in a museum or in an Arts & Crafts house where it could be admired by many.
Please note that the peacock fire screen made by the Newton school near Cambridge is not part of the fireplace nor included in the price but sits nicely there.
This can be viewed in Honiton and a condition report given to any serious purchaser.
