Very Rare Antique Eagle Fire Grate Insert & Marble Surround

• All Original - Very Rare Antique Eagle Chimneypiece - Insert & Marble Surround
• Made by the Eagle Foundry in 1897 - the rear firebrick is dated
• It is marked - Gold Medal Eagle Grate by Royal Letters Patent
• This is totally original with its original tiles (these could easily be changed - they are standard 6" x6" tiles)
• The pictures below show how this grate is to be used. In the Summer and other times when the fire is not being used the doors are closed, in this mode it was still attractive to look at. When in use the doors are folded back and it then looks like a normal tiled insert.
• All of the original tiles and small brass knobs are still fitted
• The marble surround measures: 73" Long x 47 ¼" Tall x 13" Deep (Mantle Shelf)
• Outside to outside leg measures: 63" Long
• The insert measures 39" Tall x 41" Wide x 15 ½" Into Wall (Depth)
• The doors close when the fires is not in use and then fold back when the fire is lit, this unique feature helps stop any problems associated with leaving the fireplace open when not in use.
