And with designs ranging from extremely ornate to simple and elegant, Mallett is sure to have something to suit your specific requirements.

Fireplaces have come a long way since their early days as open hearths in the middle of a room, but in the late 18th and 19th centuries, they became artworks in themselves, especially in the stately homes of Britain.

As one of the most decorative parts of the fireplace, antique marble chimney pieces and fire surrounds vary greatly, with no two being exactly alike. Many neoclassical, Georgian and Rococo antique marble chimney pieces include scrollwork and columns while other antique marble chimney pieces use coloured marble to create beautiful designs.

Neoclassical and Rococo antique fire grates serve a practical purpose, ensuring good ventilation to the fire and holding logs in place, but they also often feature intricate designs. Generally made from steel and brass, decorative features on antique fire grates may include baluster columns, finials and scroll legs.

As well as our antique marble chimney pieces and antique fire grates, our collection of fire ware also includes fire irons and bellows.
