The form is anchored by robust cast iron supports, where the craftsmanship of the casting is immediately apparent—deeply detailed surfaces that subtly echo the powerful presence of a lion, a motif long associated with English heraldry and strength.

Hand selected in England and imported with care, they carry with them the enduring romance of the traditional English fireside. See less
