Rescued from a historic estate in Asheville, North Carolina, this antique Victorian cast iron fireplace summer cover (summer hood/grate panel) is an exceptional standalone find. Boasting rare, oversized dimensions and an incredibly intricate, multi-layered design, this single decorative panel has been beautifully restored to a pristine satin black finish and is ready for immediate display.

Design Elements & Details
The Oversized Sunburst-Web Motif: Measuring a substantial 21 inches wide by 27 inches tall, this heavy cast iron panel features a central radiating sunburst web motif. The centerpiece is elegantly framed by a breathtaking, openwork ribbon-and-lace filigree ring, while the lower portion features a dense diamond-lattice grille.

Versatility for Design: Because this is a single, standalone cover, it is incredibly versatile. It is perfect for a historic homeowner searching for a rare-sized replacement panel, a decorator looking to handsomely mask an unused modern firebox opening, or an art collector looking to mount a striking piece of 19th-century industrial art on a wall.
