French-Style Cast-Iron Fireplace Inner Frame — 117.5 cm

This original old cast-iron fireplace inner frame, measuring 117.5 cm wide, brings distinctive French decorative character to a marble or stone mantel. It reduces the mantel opening and provides an ornamental transition between the fire opening and the outer fireplace surround.

A straight upper edge and broad uprights create a balanced outline around the rectangular opening. The surface carries a diamond lattice punctuated by small floral rosettes and circular junctions. At the centre of the frieze, an expressive mascaron sits within a scrolling cartouche with fan-shaped ribs and symmetrical side ornaments. A raised border of oval motifs defines the inner opening, while plain plinth blocks provide a restrained base beneath the densely patterned uprights.

The finish appears deep black to charcoal, with silvery highlights catching the raised decoration. Recessed areas remain dark, giving the relief a pronounced sense of depth. White or veined marble offers a crisp, elegant contrast, while beige limestone and aged timber bring warmth to a rustic setting. Paired with contemporary art and clean-lined furniture, the frame introduces historical texture to a considered, eclectic interior.

Wear and condition are consistent with age and use. Ready for installation, this original old casting may be slightly twisted. Its height can be adapted to the customer’s requirements by agreement. A specialist should assess the fit and installation within the chosen fireplace surround.
