This antique fireback features a bold symmetrical design framed by ornate columns and crowned with two guardian creatures holding a scrolling cartouche. Above them, twin crosses and a stylized floral crest add both sacred and artistic balance. The intricate details, softened by a deep iron patina of rust and graphite, echo the craftsmanship of early European foundries. Once protecting grand stone hearths from roaring flames, this fireback now stands as a preserved relic of faith, artistry, and the enduring strength of hand-forged metalwork from the Ancient Surfaces collection.
