haardbak - Fireplace accessory - Cast iron

The pictured fireplace insert is an antique cast-iron wood holder with an elegant Neo-Gothic design. The whole piece is made of heavy cast iron with a warm bronze to gold-brown patina, arising from age and use.

The wood holder has a rectangular shape and rests on four slender legs positioned slightly backward, giving it a light and refined appearance. The two solid side panels rise gracefully in a subtly curved contour and form sturdy supports for the firewood.

The front, back, and bottom plates consist of a series of curved vertical bars that extend upward into a decorative edge of interconnected Gothic pointed arches (ogives). This openwork pattern is characteristic of the Neo-Gothic style of the 19th century and provides both a decorative effect and good air circulation around the wood.

The underside is made of the same curved bars forming a slightly hollow support surface.
Dimensions: H 18 cm, W 40 cm, D 21 cm.
