Description
This is a fine quality antique English traditional 18th century style fire basket, made from cast iron, circa 1870, in excellent condition. Benefitting from a freestanding neo-classical / renaissance design, this fire grate features a domed backplate, decorated with an embossed neo-classical urn and floral swag motif design. The fire grate is constructed with two taller dome caped legs at the rear, and two smaller shaped legs at the front, which support a pair of brass finials. The fire basket frame is constructed with a castellated basket, incorporating decorative riveted studs and vertical spike bars for keeping the logs in place. The twin internal floor grates can be removed from the basket, allowing for easy cleaning. The dog basket can be used with either wood or coal. The fire basket 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.

Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.

Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.

Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.

We will also provide you with our shippers' contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It's helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.

In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
