Antique French Iron Fireback (FA-EDBX)

An enchanting 18th-century French cast iron fireback showcasing a romantic Rococo tableau in delicate relief. The scene depicts a finely dressed couple in period attire—the woman in a voluminous gown with lace-like detailing and the man in a tunic and hat—strolling hand in hand through a naturalistic setting. The pair is framed by ornate scrollwork and vine motifs, including grapes and ivy, suggesting themes of courtship, festivity, and pastoral elegance.

The scalloped crest and flowing borders reflect the Rococo era’s flair for movement and ornamentation, while the naturally aged surface lends authenticity and depth. Originally used to protect fireplace masonry and reflect heat, this fireback now serves beautifully as a decorative statement piece.
