We recently bought 2 van loads of fireplaces from the Borders which included 3 like this one, now fully restored (thought alas one of them requires some serious work). About as pretty a little fire as...

A very nice one this. It came from a very grand house down near Jedburgh and now that its been sand blasted I can safely say that I don't think I've ever seen such fine casting in a piece of iron, it ...

Rather a heavily varnished surround we bought from Rutherglen a while ago. Its a type of pine that doesn't strip well, so it would be best to leave it as it is or paint it, dating to around 1900. The ...

Rather a nice fire surround from the 1890's which I hand stripped during the lockdown in my garden. Its a most unusual colour, mainly a fairly warm brown but with streaks of crimson running through it...

Typical Victorian fire surround (also late Georgian really) in yellow pine shown with a good arched insert that we've had extended to be 41 inches sq which has an 18 inch aperture which is quite large...

Just finished stripping the paint off this marble fire and it seems nice and clean. It came from a tenement up in Woodlands and is shown with an insert dating to the 1860's that has been extended to b...

Quite an early arched insert, probably late Georgian, but they used to use the same moulds for years and years so it would suit most houses. Its got an 18 inch opening which is bigger than normal and ...

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...

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, ...

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...

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...

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). ...

This surround is lucky to still be about. From a cottage that was being demolished outside Falkirk, half the building had been pushed over and we could see this half buried by rubble. It was too dange...

I think this dates to about 1910 and it came from a house down towards Irvine where it was in the kitchen where a range had been, hence its rather large size. Just a good simple hardwood surrou...
