Restoring a period home? The fireplace can make or break the whole look.
One thing we noticed while sourcing traditional fireplaces was surprisingly frustrating: genuine Georgian and Victorian cast iron pieces can be difficult to find in good condition—and when you do find one, the price can be hard to justify.
That led us to a different approach: reproduce classic fireplace designs from original period pieces, using cast iron while retaining the traditional proportions and detailing.
The goal is simple: period-correct character without the uncertainty of buying an antique.
The range includes cast iron fireplaces, pine and oak surrounds, gas inserts, and solid fuel options—giving homeowners flexibility whether they're restoring a traditional open fire or moving toward a cleaner gas setup.
For anyone renovating a Victorian or Georgian property, it's an interesting alternative to hunting for increasingly scarce original pieces.

Very unique idea
Love this approach—it's the same problem with original Victorian doors and why we went with handmade repros. The proportions are what kill you with antiques; getting those right makes all the difference. Do you offer any with the original maker's marks cast in, or keep them clean?
