Victorian Fire Fender

This exquisite red brass Victorian fire fender is a beautifully restored original piece, radiating the charm and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Over time, the original leather upholstery had succumbed to the natural wear and tear of age, losing its functionality and appeal. To breathe new life into this timeless artifact, we undertook a meticulous refurbishment process, ensuring it retains its historical integrity while enhancing its durability.

For the upholstery, we selected a premium, exceptionally thick piece of saddlery leather, chosen for its robustness and ability to withstand years of use. This high-quality leather not only complements the fender’s elegant brass finish but also ensures it can endure the rigours of daily life, much like the original artisans intended.

The restoration has not only revived the fender’s original purpose but also elevated its aesthetic appeal, making it a standout feature in any room. The combination of Victorian craftsmanship and our thoughtful refurbishment ensures this piece will continue to serve its purpose for generations, blending history with lasting functionality.

This project highlights the timeless value of antique restoration—preserving the past while equipping it for the future.
