With over 150 years of experience in dealing antiques, Mallett is the perfect choice

Our extensive collection of antique marble chimney pieces and antique fire grates
spans a variety of historical periods and artistic movements, including Rococo and
neoclassical and the Georgian and Victorian. And with designs ranging from extremely
ornate to simple and elegant, Mallett is sure to have something to suit your specific
requirements.
Fireplaces have come a long way since their early days as open hearths in the middle
of a room, but in the late 18th and 19th centuries, they became artworks in themselves,
especially in the stately homes of Britain.
As one of the most decorative parts of the fireplace, antique marble chimney pieces
and fire surrounds vary greatly, with no two being exactly alike. Many neoclassical,
Georgian and Rococo antique marble chimney pieces include scrollwork and columns
while other antique marble chimney pieces use coloured marble to create beautiful
designs.
Neoclassical and Rococo antique fire grates serve a practical purpose, ensuring
good ventilation to the fire and holding logs in place, but they also often feature
intricate designs. Generally made from steel and brass, decorative features on antique
fire grates may include baluster columns, finials and scroll legs.
As well as our antique marble chimney pieces and antique fire grates, our collection
of fire ware also includes fire irons and bellows.
