About the Item

An exceptional early 18th-century fire basket combining sculptural form with refined craftsmanship. The cast-iron backplate is richly modelled in high relief with a classical figure framed by scrollwork and stylised dragon-form beasts. 4 front bars, with a central deorative motif, are flanked by tall, elegantly turned brass finials, providing a balanced contrast to the black cast iron. A striking focal point, it embodies the transition from ornate Baroque exuberance to the emerging symmetry of Georgian design. Dimensions: 84cm Tall X 40cm Deep Width: 70cm Basket Internal 40cm x 20cm Dimensions are approximate.
