Details of Georgian hob grate
Georgian hob grate
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 must have been one of the first fires cast using this pattern, it's all so crisp, even the veins of the leaves, absolutely terrific. And a couple of hundred years old. Made by the Carron ironworks, it measures 33 inches wide by 20 tall.
