Pair of Early 20th Century Antique Grand Georgian Style Steel Fire Grates

About the Item

We have a matching pair antique pair of impressive and opulent fire grates reclaimed from the former Hampstead mansion of Sir Joseph Beecham. Truly exceptional baskets are made from polished and engraved steel, with applied beading and piercing. The antique fire grates feature railed serpentine baskets, out-swept spandrels, and majestic urn finials flanking a paterae pierced and engraved fret. The chamfered standards sit on baluster feet. The baskets date from the lavish refurbishment of the mansion by Sir Beecham in 1903. No expense was spared and the family crest was featured in all the main rooms of the property. They are copies of an existing Georgian fire basket in the style of Robert Adam, which is now in the British Galleries of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Each basket also has a polished fireback emblazoned with the Beecham coat of arms, including the family motto "Nil Sine Labore" meaning "Nothing without labour". It would be a shame to separate this stunning pair, but we would consider separating so please enquire. Dimensions: 91.5cm high x 91.5cm wide x 51cm deep Dimensions are approximate.
