ANTIQUE CAST IRON EDWARDIAN ART NOUVEAU COMBINATION FIREPLACE WITH HORSES FROM THE CAMARGUE

Object Description

Large and unusual antique cast iron Edwardian Art Nouveau combination fireplace with a finely cast panel to the frieze, with what is believe to be a representation of the Horses of the Camargue galloping through water with the sun breaking through cloud. This panel is flanked by equally well cast tapering flower pods suspended from elaborate ribbons. This fireplaces also benefits from a sliding blower to aid the draw of the fire when first lit. We currently have 5 of these fireplaces available at the moment.
