The Iron Duke fireplace features electric fire and lamps with crystal effect shades. On the mantlepiece are two urns and a carriage style clock in the centre. There is a fantastic brass fender in front of the fire basket in the shape of two swans drinking from a fountain. The working electric fire, clock light shades and urns are exclusive, and made by me for this fireplace. All the decorative elements of the fireplace and its structure are hand painted and gilded.
This fireplace is in the Neo-classical style, and is named after the Duke of Wellington (Known as the Iron Duke) and is in a cast iron paint finish – not a flat black. The neo classical style featured in both upper and middle class residences of England and the United States from the 1760s (in the US it became known as Federal style). The style is typified by Classical Roman decorative motifs, such as framed medallions, vases, and urns, with swags and ribbons in multi coloured pastel shades.
