A fine and large cast iron Georgian fire basket. Very much in the Adam style, the basket has an arched back cast with swagged and beaded decoration, reminiscent of the fan lights the Adam brothers popularised in the 18th century. The fireback is mounted behind the generous four-bar grate, which in turn is mounted with urns. The front of the basket is cast with ornate floral detailing, and the apron is cast with ornate foliate Vitruvian scrolls. This is supported by tapered standards with urn finials.

English, c.1800.
