Buyer's Premium:

This freestanding electric fire basket is constructed from black-painted cast iron in the Neo-Gothic or Tudor Revival style. The decorative backplate features an arched top and is adorned with three fleur-de-lis motifs in relief against a stippled background. The unit is flanked by two integral andirons, each with a twisted stem, a fleur-de-lis finial, and arched dog feet. The front of the basket features a low portcullis-style grate with vertical bars and pointed spade finials. At the centre is a textured orange heating element with V-shaped ventilation apertures. A black metal panel with a ring-pull handle is located at the base, likely concealing the fan and controls. The item is equipped with a power cable.
