I would guess this is from the 1920's and its quite an imposing piece, without being too domineering, I guess thats the influence of the mirror adding some light. Its Mahogany and a cut above some of ...

Good clean pine surround of a type seen across the land from 1800 to 1900 (this one came from a flat in the west end of Edinburgh dating to the 1860's which had marble fires in the principal rooms and...

We have dozens and dozens of arched inserts patiently waiting to be restored, but it all takes time, sourcing missing bits, doing smith work, shot blasting and black leading, but this is a typical one...

From an 1880's tenement in Edinburgh, a nice (and fairly flat) combination fire with its original overmantel-no mirror, just an extra shelf on which you can heap more stuff.14 inch opening....

Heavily embossed, and generally just heavy combination fire which we removed from a church in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. It has a slightly curved shelf and chunky brick back. 14 inch opening and love...

Lovely Gesso fire surround shown here with a Georgian grate from the old Lochwinnoch castle-so I'm told.These gesso fires are a nightmare to strip and if heavily painted can cost a 4 figure sum to get...

One of the prettiest styles we see, and with a larger than normal opening (18 inches). This fire is just back from a years sojourn in Prague where it has been used on a film set. For any nerds out the...

I've always liked the look of pink tiles in a black insert, like this. Good simple casting with rather unusual bars on the front. 16 inch opening. Having looked at the pic, it looks a bi...

We recently removed 4 of these unusual little fires from a job we're doing up in Montrose. these are having to be removed in pitch darkness from a second floor flat and then carried down stone steps, ...

Slim legged surround we recently bought from a dark and gloomy part of the old Sunnyside hospital complex up near Montrose. Dark because all the windows have been boarded up and gloomy because half th...

We bought this, like so many others, coated in paint and have recently finished stripping it and its OK. Its not the cleanest one we've ever had but its fine and is a little cheaper than normal.There...

Pretty little fire which we see quite regularly here, though we never used to see them in Edinburgh. They seem to come from Houses dating to 1905-20 ish Tall and thin which lends itself nicely ...

about a year ago I posted a pic of part of a huge collection of companion sets on our Facebook page, about 20 boxes of bits, they'd all been taken to pieces and I stupidly thought my children would en...

Decent sized marble fire shown here just before we removed it from a house in Lenzie. A touch more detail than some we see with its extra inner trim and mini capitols. The surface has dulled a bit ove...

Great typical late Victorian set up here, a nice tiled insert with original (as always) art nouveau tiles and a pine surround with a double shelf from just outside Edinburgh. All lovely and clean and ...

Rather a lovely tiled insert this, with a large opening size of 18 inches. It came from a very grand house in Edinburgh dating to the 1860's. We actually sold it a while ago, cleaned it all up and sen...

The smallest fireplace we've ever had, and we bought it from another fireplace dealer who said it was the smallest fireplace he'd ever had too. Goodness knows what sort of surround would have fitted i...

One of the fancier patterned inserts we see, this one with a 17 inch opening which is quite large. It dates to around 1870 and this one came from Dundee. I'm not great at updating the site when items ...

Just a quick pic to show a Georgian hob waiting to be restored, as anyone who has been down to our yard will realise, we have a lot of fires waiting to be restored (as of the last stock take, over 400...

A typical and attractive pine surround with a rather decorative arched insert, the sort of thing that we generally always have in stock (though not always quite restored yet) We try to always have a g...

Rather unusual this one, its the sort of style you see in very grand hallways, where indeed this one came from (in Dundee). Its very grand and very black and would look terrific with a wood burner or ...

Nice simple pine surround of the sort that can be found in houses and flats from the beginning to the end of the C19th, The inside legs of the surround are deeper than the outside legs on this one, wh...

We've had a couple of these tiled inserts over the years, generally from Edinburgh's New Town. This one is fresh in and we haven't had a chance to restore it yet (mend the crack shown in the last pic ...

Nice big simple pine surround from a big detached house in Helensburgh dating to the 1880's, shown with an insert that appears elsewhere on the site from the same period.Surround now sold....

There's a lot going on with this one. From a grand 1870's house in Edinburgh, from the drawing room where it sat in a carved marble surround (which was kept- having a stove installed instead). ...
