Large 17th Century French Iron Hexagonal Fireback

Details: Antique French hexagonal shaped iron fireback featuring a 17th century date at the top, surmounting a crowned crest with three Fleur de Lis inside, flanked by laurel leaf branches. Firebacks were intended to use in the back of fireplaces to help radiate heat in large rooms, however, are also wonderful pieces to use on a wall behind a stove top range or as ornamental pieces in the garden!

Dimensions: 24.75"w x 1"d x 25"h (85 lbs)

Condition: In beautiful condition with a nice patina. The date appears as "16_6", yet is difficult to read the third number.
