Unusual and Rare Quality Antique Regency Brass Fender with Original Fire Irons
Description
An unusual and highly decorative Regency brass fender distinguished by its elegant proportions and the survival of its original accompanying fire irons, an increasingly rare feature. The fender is of rectangular form, enriched with finely worked decorative bands and raised on classic paw feet, giving it both presence and refinement.
The matching fire irons remain mounted on their original standards, forming a complete and visually balanced fireside ensemble. The quality of the brasswork, combined with the restrained ornament typical of the Regency period, makes this a particularly attractive and desirable example.
A striking and practical piece, ideal for a traditional fireplace setting and a fine addition to a Georgian or Regency interior.
Condition
Very good antique condition. The brass displays a pleasing aged patina throughout, with minor surface wear and gentle rubbing consistent with age and use. The fender is solid and stable, and the fire irons remain well matched and original to the piece.
