Description: Antique Cast Iron Fireplace Insert with Decorative Tiles I am seeking an appraisal for an antique cast iron fireplace insert. The piece features intricate metalwork with floral and scroll designs, along with decorative tiles in a rich amber and brown pattern. Based on its design and materials, I believe it may date from the late 19th or early 20th century, possibly Victorian or Edwardian in style. Measurements: • Height: 38 inches • Width: 38 inches • Depth: Approximately 12 inches Markings: • The back of the fireplace has several markings: • “No 60 38x38” — This may correspond to the model number and dimensions. • “RN 97689” — Likely a registered design or patent number, which could provide information on its date of manufacture. • Additional markings include “No 16 16 Fire”, which might indicate further model or catalog details. The fireplace is very heavy, confirming its cast iron construction. It shows some signs of wear consistent with age but remains structurally sound. There is some rust present, particularly on the back and interior sections. The tiles are mostly intact but have some chips and surface wear. Additional Information: I believe the fireplace could be British-made, possibly by a notable foundry like Coalbrookdale or Carron, given the quality of the casting and the intricate detailing. I would like to understand its provenance, period, and estimated value, considering its current condition.
