Why You’ll Love It
A charming Regency or Victorian style fireplace fender, masterfully cast in gilt metal with an authentic antiqued brass finish. The front railing showcases a highly detailed, openwork geometric fret pattern featuring repeating arch cutouts. The structure is anchored by tiny architectural corner plinths, each topped with a classic turned ball finial. A subtly tiered, solid base rail provides a stable, flush fit against the hearthstone. Historically, these metal fenders were placed on the hearth to prevent rolling logs or stray embers from escaping onto the room's rugs. In your dollhouse, it will beautifully complete a grand fireplace scene, anchoring the mantelpiece and protecting any rugs.
Perfect for a Georgian drawing room, Regency townhouse, Victorian parlor, manor house library, historic bedroom fireplace or formal sitting room.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
