As the Georgian era developed, increasing numbers of the more wealthy landowners started to build or lease ‘townhouses’ in London. The fireplace in these homes still retained its place as the focus of the room but was, of necessity, generally smaller than the grand, open chimneys incorporated into the ‘ancestral seat’. Initially, the brick opening of the townhouse fireplace would contain an elaborate fire basket. Progressively, however, the addition of a cast front which could decrease, hide, or improve the look of the opening became a typical feature. Taking inspiration from period originals these fronts are cast to exemplify the London style.
