1930s Fireplace

An unusually proportioned 1930s fireplace made from large moulded blocks glazed with a beige/brown mottle.

A darker brown mottled glaze has been used for the fire opening and the raised section of
hearth immediately in front of the fire.

The sides of the fireplace opening are highlighted with purple lustre glaze tiles typical of the manufacturers, Thynne of Hereford.

Given the large dimensions of the fireplace opening (24 inches) and the thickness of the hearth, the fireplace was most likely intended to have been wood burning only using a Devon fireback. It can be adapted to suit any fuel or be used as a surround for a small firebasket
