An antique brass and iron fire basket, with enclosed burn area and incorporated canopy and flue

The iron bars flanked by andirons off upright seated lions, on baluster podiums with paw-feet, the lions holding a shield.

Finely cast lion masks and arabesques decorate the hood with chimney outlet.

A good functioning fire basket which greatly reduces the amount of smoke that spills into a room.

English, circa 1890
