Description
This is a fine quality English Georgian style fire grate, made by Carron, which is the Dorchester model, made from heavy cast iron, circa 1990, in excellent original condition. Benefitting from a freestanding neo-classical / renaissance design, this dog basket features a tall ribbed backplate. The top section is decorated with a lattice background, incorporating a central floral cartouche, with a shaped top rail above. The Georgian style fire grate is decorated with a downswept grate, featuring curved horizontal bars, decorated with two brass finials.

The fire grate is constructed with a decorative shaped apron, flanked by two cabriole legs at the front, with the ribbed backplate terminating on the floor. The Georgian style fire grate frame is constructed with a shaped cast iron basket, incorporating decorative moulded horizontal bars for keeping the logs in place. The internal floor grate can be removed from the basket, allowing for easy cleaning. The dog basket can be used with either wood or coal. The Georgian style fire grate is constructed of cast and hand forged iron and the open fire grate features an attractive finish, giving it a lovely colour and appearance.

This neo-classical log basket would look superb in a variety of hearths or fireside locations. It would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it not only extremely functional but also highly decorative, which can also house floral displays.

Condition Report:
This is a fine quality English Georgian style fire grate, made by Carron, which is the Dorchester model, incorporating a neo-classical design, made from heavy cast iron, circa 1990, in excellent original condition. The fire basket is solid in joint and is robust. Nominal old use marks to the paintwork on the internal side of the fire grate, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. There are no breaks to the cast iron or damage to the solid brass finials. The internal grate floor is in excellent working condition. The grate features an attractive charcoal colour finish, giving it a lovely matt appearance. This log basket is reassuringly solid and heavy, and it is ready to use.
