Antique Cast Iron Fireback with Classical Spring Scene

Reclaimed from a Central London Mayfair property, this large Antique Fireback delivers a Classical Scene complete with ornate cast motifs throughout.

The Cast-Iron piece depicts a central female goddess/maiden who can be seen surrounded and holding flowers. To her left, there is a water fountain with a Statue of Neptune; to her right a vase of flowers.  

Illustrating plentifulness through the fish, clamshells, flora and fauna the piece is symbolic of a new beginning with the cast letters FRVH LING meaning "Spring".

Gently restored in-house the piece is ready to be used for both decorative and functional purposes.

A very handsome piece.
