AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique Tuscan Terracotta Stove-Fireplace, Rococo Revival, c. 1870–1900

A moulded terracotta stove-fireplace made in the Florentine area, a traditional centre of artistic terracotta (Impruneta, Signa, Empoli), in the late 19th century. It’s in the Rococo-revival style, with a lion mask at the centre framed by scrolls, shells and roses.

It need to be fitted on the floor/wall, with an open arched hearth and a round flue collar on top for a stovepipe. It was installed and in working use until recently, set halfway into the wall, which is why the back and half the depth is left plain and is still clean. With careful fitting it could take a modern glass-fronted insert.

There’s some wear to the surface and traces of paint, as you’d expect from its age, but the structure is sound and it still works.
