Celtic Cast Iron Fireplace

A Victorian Masterwork Faithfully Reproduced

The Celtic cast iron fireplace embodies the pinnacle of traditional fireplace design, distinguished by its commanding arched opening, refined proportions, and meticulously detailed ornamentation. This exceptional reproduction honors an original combination front—so named for its integrated mantel shelf—capturing the essence of period craftsmanship in dimensions perfectly suited to intimate spaces. Whether gracing a library, bedroom, office or distinguished study, the refined design of the Celtic transforms any room into a sanctuary of warmth and architectural distinction.

Defining Characteristics

Authentic Victorian Architecture Featuring Grand Arched Opening, Vine Scrollwork, and Flowing Spandrels

The Celtic showcases rich period styling: graceful vine motifs intertwining across its face, delicate beaded trim framing the opening, and elegant spandrels that speak to an age cast iron artistry. This level of period authenticity is ideally suited to fireplaces where architectural integrity remains paramount—particularly in those built around the turn of the century.

Slim Profile

Thoughtfully scaled for intimate rooms, the Celtic enhances bedrooms and offices without dominating the space.

Versatile Burner Options

May be installed with either of our electric firebox selections, enabling flexible installations in any location—no chimney required.

Compatibility with wood and gas.

Many older fireplaces may not be safe for use without complete restoration from a fireplace and chimney specialist. But this work can be performed with a goal to use these castings in a wood burning application.

The Celtic Distinction

Heritage Craftsmanship

This reproduction honours the master foundrymen of the Victorian age, preserved in every curve and ornamental flourish. The intricate vine work in the spandrels, beading around the arched opening and simple fret on the legs reflect traditional cast iron fireplace design that in the mid and late 19th century was at its artistic height.

Flexible Installation

We offer two electric firebox options that deliver compelling flame effects with complete safety, requiring no chimney necessary. An ideal solution where contemporary building codes restrict open flames, gas installations, or traditional venting systems.

Enduring Material Excellence

Cast iron mantels possess exceptional longevity, superior heat tolerance, and maintain their distinguished appearance across generations with basic care.

Investment in Architectural Heritage

The installation of a finely crafted cast iron front elevates both the aesthetic character and historical value of your property, transforming overlooked spaces or aging fireplaces into commanding focal points of lasting distinction.

Installation & Use

Electric Fireplace Configuration

Building codes and chimney limitations need not dictate the placement of a hearth within your home. Our refined electric firebox offerings may be installed throughout your residence, delivering both operational safety and impressive realism.

Flexibility of Installation

Use with the slim firebox options for minimal room impact. As no chimney is required, these are ideal for bedrooms and upper floors where venting is restrictive.

Heritage Fireplace Restoration

Our castings may be expertly installed over a renovated wood burning fireplace and chimney, providing all the traditional charm of the Victorian aesthetic while permitting the burning of wood, or in some cases, natural gas.

Materials, Care & Maintenance

Material Composition

Authentic cast iron finishes that share the aged patina of a beloved antique.

Finish Options

We present these castings in two heritage-inspired finishes: Antique Iron Lustre and Black Burnished Bronze. Both finishes possess a subtle reflective quality that captures and plays with ambient light across the raised ornamental details, creating depth and visual intrigue.

Care

Regular dusting; avoid soap, water and harsh abrasives.

Safety Protocols

All wood-burning and gas installations must adhere to local building regulations, proper hearth dimensions, and clearance requirements. Electric configurations should follow manufacturer specifications for firebox installation and operational safety.

Why the Celtic Represents an Exceptional Choice

Whether restoring a heritage property, elevating a mantelpiece with authentic Victorian artistry, or establishing an immediate focal point rich with historical character—the Celtic delivers uncompromising excellence. It marries the bold presence of arched fireplace architecture with refined ornamentation and practical versatility, creating not merely a heat source but a statement of heritage and design mastery. This is more than warmth—this is the preservation of an era when fireplace design represented the highest expression of decorative arts, transforming your interior into a timeless testament to enduring craftsmanship.
