An Antique Iron Fireback from France  - 1743 – Good Antique Condition Commensurate with Age – Some wearing to details and rusting to iron consistent with age – 18th C.

This regal antique French fireback bears a coat of arms with 1743 at the top, a crown, a motto, a shield with a lion, supports of two backward facing falcons on perches upheld by scrolling vines and grapes atop a stylized shell. The outer edges of the fireback are defined by s-scroll acanthus leaf volutes with a central dome defining the top.  Due to its age, there are some details difficult to define.

This magnificent antique French iron fireback can still be used in a fireplace, a stove top fireplace or on a garden wall as a beautiful piece of art.
