19th-Century Cast-Iron Log Basket with Ring Handles
6281
A substantial 19th-century cast-iron log basket, made to stand beside the fireplace with quiet authority. Of robust rectangular form, it is fitted with ring-pull handles at either end and raised on sturdy feet, allowing air to circulate beneath the basket while giving it a strong, well-grounded silhouette.
The honest weight and practical construction are characteristic of 19th-century hearth furniture, designed for daily use in country houses, townhouses, and cottages alike. Its dark cast-iron surface has the depth, texture, and enduring character that only comes from age and use, while the restrained design allows it to sit comfortably in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Generously proportioned for logs or kindling, this is a highly practical fireside piece as well as a handsome decorative object. Its considerable weight ensures it will stay exactly where it is put-so solid that you can be confident nobody will be making off with your logs.
A wonderful addition to a fireplace, inglenook, country kitchen, or garden room, and an appealing example of 19th-century functional design.
This basket is unbelievably heavy so shipping will need to be quoted separately.
