This is a heavy antique public house fire back. An English, cast iron hearth reflector, dating to the Georgian period, circa 1800.
Admirably substantial example, with relief personalised for a Royal Oak public house
Displays a desirable aged patina and in good order
Resplendent in appealing black tonality from the consistent graphite finish
Seriously heavy, weighing approximately 100kg plus for further decades of duty
Wonderful relief casting of a mighty oak tree adorns the fascia
Profuse branch and root detail spreads across the reflector
Sash ribbon to the base of the trunk reads The Royal Oak, a classically British tavern name
Estimates suggest there are over 450 public houses with the Royal Oak name in Britain today
A trio of crowns pair with the GR royal cypher, signifying George III (reign: 1760 - 1820)
This is a fascinating antique public house fire back, with a pleasingly robust construction and charming tavern detail. Ideal for the country house setting, or within a public house of the same name. Delivered ready for the fireplace.
