About the Item

This impressive antique cast iron fireback from France, dating to the 17th century, features the Royal Arms of France with three fleur-de-lys beneath a grand crown, surrounded by laurel branches and framed with additional fleur-de-lys motifs in each corner. A powerful symbol of monarchy and strength, this design was traditionally used in aristocratic homes and châteaux, not only as a decorative centerpiece but also to protect the masonry of large fireplaces while radiating heat back into the room. Crafted in heavy solid iron, this large square fireback is richly detailed and exudes the elegance and authority of the French monarchy. Today, it can serve as a striking architectural element, perfect for an antique fireplace restoration, or displayed as a piece of historic wall art. This rare piece of French history is highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for its timeless symbolism, decorative power, and historical significance.
