Identify a fireplace
Hi,
My house has a fireplace identical to this one below: http://i15.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/a7/85/1b91_3.JPG We're taking it out to make way for a multifuel stove and would like to know the make/model of this for when we put it up for sale. Anyone got one/seen one? Thanks, Andy |

Anyone got one/seen one? I doubt you'd find the make and model, unless there are markings/makers name on the back of it. Is it an original, or repro? We changed our fireplace around 9 years ago, your sort were selling for around £200 here in the Midlands then. Fully restored and in as new condition they were being sold for around £800-1000. You need to state the size of it also. Is it 16"? Anything smaller is usually for bedrooms or kitchens, 16"+ for living rooms. Alan. -- To reply by e-mail, change the ' + ' to 'plus'. |

I would say that one would fetch around £100-£150, but don't attempt to courier it for less than £50-60... Just E-bay it as 'cast iron tiled victorian fire surround' and watch the bids flow in. |
