Description

A large cast iron and brass mounted Gothic Revival firegrate in the manner of A W N Pugin. The high, trefoil backplate, centred by a plain cartouche above an arch, has sides swooping down to the low two barred grate. A pair of upright seated, brass lions mounted on spiral podiums and holding simple, escutcheon shaped shields, form the integral andirons raised on large peg feet.
English late 19th century.
