A striking 19th-century English fireplace surround richly detailed in repousse brass. The upper panel features the face of Vulcan, Roman god of the forge, flanked by scrolling foliage and acanthus ornament. Below, two mythical dragons guard an urn at the centre of an intricate floral and foliate motif, finely hand-pierced and worked in high relief. The openwork pattern continues along the lower register, framed by a brass border with subtle age-related patina.

An exceptional example of Victorian craftsmanship that merges mythological symbolism with decorative artistry — ideal for restoration or as a dramatic statement piece in a hearth, wall installation, or display.

The lamp is the perfect accoutrement to my Great, Grandfather’s roll top desk. I’m the 4 th generation in my family to labour away on its planks.
