Many owners of period or traditional houses appreciate the appeal of a beautiful fireplace. A magnificent mantelpiece surrounding an old-fashioned grate with logs crackling and conjuring a dance of flames – it’s a scene to come home to on a cold day that delights and reassures in equal measure.
Our classic fireplaces include a variety of both period precise reproductions and history inspired, designer styles. Featuring a grate and built-in fireback, these complete fireplaces can be inserted into 36” by 36” (915 x 915mm) chimney openings or larger. Designed to burn solid-fuels such as wood or coal, they can also be selected as a gas fire with optional remote control. This blog lists our top five classic fireplaces.
