STYLES OF FIREPLACE

A Victorian fireplace can be any fireplace made between 1819-1901 but it usually refers to a cast iron fireplace with A Very ‘Ornate’ look with Lots of Flowers, Swirls and busy patterning.
Arched Inserts with Pine Corbelled Surrounds were popular, as were Slate and Marble Surrounds and Decorative Hearth Tiles.

             

An Edwardian fireplace is a fireplace made during the reign of Edward VII (1901-1910). Tiled Inserts and Tiled Combinations were common with plainer tiles and brick designs. Lines were straighter and overall appearance more angled and less fussy.




Fireplaces were an important feature of Arts and Crafts design. In the era from which the Movement drew its inspiration, the fireplace was only beginning to be sited on the sidewalls of great halls in the houses of the very rich. So the style adopted by Arts and Crafts was a 19th century day pastiche of what was really constructed during the Wars of the Roses. 

The fireplaces were large, often rounded and had an inglenook feel. Bricks would vary in size, with courses laid vertically as well as conventionally or possibly in a herringbone pattern. Later designs often included tiles and the type of sinuous designs that are associated with Charles Rennie Macintosh and Art Nouveau. Tiles might have a pastoral scene or a complex flower motif and the Rockwood Pottery that produced early designs was closely associated with Morris & Co, the company that William Morris ran from 1875. We still live with the Arts & Crafts legacy in mock Tudor houses, twentieth century wall panelling and old brick fireplaces. Like virtually all styles of the last two hundred years the popularity declines only to reappear up to one hundred years later.




Art Nouveau Styles featured sinuous, elongated, curvy lines,  stylised flowers, leaves, roots, buds and seedpods.  It was the first style to stop looking backwards in history for ideas, taking inspiration instead from what it saw around it, in particular the natural world.
