The Pembroke cast iron fireplace amplifies the celebrated design of the Celtic with enhanced width and commanding scale, creating a statement piece of exceptional architectural presence. This distinguished combination front features the same beloved Victorian detailing—graceful vine scrollwork, delicate beaded trim, and a grand arched opening—now proportioned to anchor larger spaces with authoritative elegance. Ideal for principal rooms, formal parlors, dining halls, and generous living areas, the Pembroke transforms substantial interiors into showcases of period craftsmanship and timeless design mastery.
The Pembroke takes the refined aesthetics of Victorian fireplace design and reimagines them at a bolder scale. Featuring the same intricate vine motifs gracefully intertwining across its face, delicate beaded trim framing the generous arched opening, and elegant flowing spandrels, this wider casting commands attention in rooms that demand substantial architectural presence. The expanded proportions create a focal point of undeniable impact while maintaining the period-authentic detailing that defines exceptional cast iron artistry.
Thoughtfully widened to complement larger rooms, the Pembroke anchors substantial interiors—formal living rooms, dining halls, master suites, and grand parlors—with proportions that match the architectural ambition of more spacious settings.
May be installed over an appropriately sized masonry firebox for traditional wood burning, paired with either of our electric firebox selections for chimney-free installation, or professionally fitted for gas operation following proper restoration and building code compliance.
Building upon Victorian foundry traditions, the Pembroke delivers all the ornamental sophistication of period design while offering the bold proportions that larger spaces require to achieve proper visual balance.
This reproduction honors the master foundrymen of the Victorian era, preserving their intricate artistry in a more commanding format. The elaborate vine work filling the spandrels, precise beading encircling the arched opening, and refined details throughout reflect the pinnacle of 19th-century cast iron fireplace design, now scaled to anchor more generous architectural settings.
Our two electric firebox options deliver compelling flame effects with complete modern safety, requiring no chimney infrastructure. An exceptional solution where contemporary building codes, structural considerations, or the absence of traditional venting systems would otherwise limit fireplace placement in larger rooms.
Cast iron mantels offer unparalleled durability, exceptional heat resistance, and maintain their distinguished appearance across generations with straightforward maintenance, making them a lasting investment in architectural excellence.
The installation of a commanding cast iron combination front elevates both the aesthetic character and heritage significance of your property, transforming generous spaces into rooms of architectural distinction that enhance overall interior gravitas and lasting value.
Building codes and the absence of chimney systems need not prevent the installation of a traditional hearth in larger rooms. Our refined electric firebox offerings install throughout your residence, delivering both operational safety and impressive visual realism that honors Victorian authenticity.
Compatible with our electric firebox selections for installations where venting proves impractical. With no chimney required, the Pembroke excels in renovated spaces, new construction, upper floors, and interior rooms where traditional masonry systems are absent or impractical.
Our castings integrate beautifully with renovated wood-burning fireplaces and properly sized masonry fireboxes, preserving authentic Victorian character while enabling traditional wood burning or, with appropriate professional installation and local code compliance, natural gas operation.
Authentic cast iron construction with period-inspired finishes that capture the aged patina and dignified character of treasured antiques.
We present these castings in two heritage-inspired finishes: Antique Iron Lustre and Black Burnished Bronze. Both finishes possess subtle reflective qualities that capture and interact with ambient light across the raised ornamental details, creating dimensional depth and visual intrigue that enhances the commanding presence of this wider casting.
Regular dusting maintains appearance; avoid soap, water, and harsh abrasives that may compromise the finish integrity.
All wood-burning and gas installations must adhere to local building regulations, appropriate hearth construction, proper firebox sizing, and clearance requirements. Electric configurations should follow manufacturer specifications for firebox installation and operational safety.
Whether restoring a heritage property with generous rooms, establishing a commanding focal point in new construction with substantial interiors, or elevating a larger space with authentic Victorian architectural character—the Pembroke delivers uncompromising excellence at a scale that matches ambitious spaces. It combines the bold presence of expanded proportions with the refined ornamentation and proven versatility that define superior cast iron fireplace design. This is more than a heating source—this is architectural mastery that transforms substantial rooms into distinguished spaces of enduring character, honoring the Victorian era when fireplace design represented the highest expression of decorative arts while meeting the scale requirements of more generous contemporary interiors.
